'''Disco Biscuits''' are an American rock band who incorporate a variety of musical genres into a consistent base of electronica and rock. They have been active since 1995.

On the first pressing of their CD ''"Encephalous Crime"'' one of the tracks was a cover of ''[[Pygmy Twylyte]]''. The second pressing no longer carried this track. The Disco Biscuits also covered ''[[Dinah-Moe Humm]], [[Peaches En Regalia]]'' and ''[[Willie The Pimp]]'' during concerts.

''"He is the first wildman of rock. His use of small orchestras for dynamic rock rather than big band jazz is the main connection between four piece rock-and-roll and the symphonic composers of the early 20th century: Prokofiev, [[Aaron Copland|Copland]], [[Igor Stravinsky|Stravinsky]] and Shostakovich. Plus, [[Edgard Varèse]]’s inspiration will always be remembered through Frank Zappa. I feel like he single handedly upheld American musicianship during the early 60’s when [[The Beatles]] and [[The Rolling Stones|Stones]] were dominant and [[Bob Dylan|Dylan]] was a folky. In my own music, I mostly focused on his compositional and orchestrating prowess as opposed to his guitar playing. “[[Echidna's Arf (Of You)]]” is the high bar for composition style rock music. “[[Regyptian Strut]]” is my favorite Zappa composition, but “[[Cheepnis]],” “[[Who Needs The Peace Corps?]],” and “[[It Must Be A Camel]]” are also all mind expanding."''<ref>http://www.jambands.com/news/2010/12/21/les-claypool-jon-gutwillig-yoko-ono-weird-al-and-many-more-reflect-on-frank-zappa</ref> - Guitarist Jon Gutwillig of Disco Biscuits in celebration of Zappa's 70th anniversary on December 21, 2010.
