Trouble in Camp Bisco: Deranged Fan Nose Dives Into Jamtronica Band Zoogma's Bass Equipment

The troubled festival finally returns, with more trouble.

Camp Bisco is already off to a rough start. The Disco Biscuits led event, which first kicked off in 1999 and has played home to artists like Bassnectar, Skrillex, and Wu-Tang Clan, was forced to take a year hiatus in 2014 after losing event permits. This was a result of scrutiny from the small town of Mariaville's local government who claimed Bisco had failed to create a zero-tolerance drug policy and include a proper amount of medical staff onsite. The event had previously made headlines In 2012, gaining a lawsuit when a young Schenectady woman, Heather Bynum, suffered a massive seizure and fell into a coma after emergency responders allegedly were slow to respond.

Yesterday however, Bisco joyously made their long awaited return, this time setting up shop on Montage Mountain in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Things were looking good for the fest until this morning, when a wow-inducing video has surfaced of an anonymous, deranged man, diving headfirst into the bass setup of Nashville jamtronica band Zoogma.

As can be witnessed in the video above, the unknown man quite easily leveled the entire electronic rig on stage, colliding into Zoogma bassist Ryan Nall, and breaking his toe. Nall, had the following to say on his Facebook of the incident:

"People keep asking, so here's the situation: we were playing Camp Bisco, early in the set a deranged kid jumped on stage, tackled me, and broke my toe and several pieces of gear. No security at the stage, but he was quickly removed. We then proceeded to brush the dirt off our shoulders and raged the rest of the set with added adrenaline. Thanks to everyone who was at the show, and for all the love and support."

For an event that's been plagued by controversy and medical incidents, hopefully this will be but a blip in an otherwise successful weekend. Moral of the story? Easy on the drugs guys!
