I suspect you have fallen foul of DG's impulse to be cryptic at all times. I suspect his post translates as follows:
The revival = Creedance Clearwater Revival
The biscuit = Half man half biscuit
The rigid digits = Stiff little fingers

The Tragically Hip are well worth checking out. I sang into the mic at one of their gigs once. Best moment of my life.
