Nerdapalooza day 2

I am home from a trip involving things i thought could never happen. I saw The Megas and the Protomen.

You've heard me rave about The Megas already, and Currently I am uploading videos on Youtube. (scroll down for links!)

Before I get to the Protomen, I was quite surprised and impressed with Schaffer the Darklord. (www.schafferthedarklord.com/)

He was pretty cool.... I just noticed my font changed and cannot seem to changed it... Well, there we go, that was odd. ANYWAYS, He was pretty good.

Then came The Protomen... who tell a dark story of loss, revenge, redemption, tragedy, and violence. With wonderful stage presence and great energy. They work so hard on their craft, I am sure they love what they do. It just makes me sad that the general public is not ready for them, and our Radio influenced masters wish to keep our ears slaves to the same ten songs over and over.

Nerdapalooza Day 1

Saturday was a blast as we dove deep into the world of Nerdcore music. We had listened to a few of the bands online, but live music is always different. We really came for 3 bands, but we found more to our liking. My Parents Favorite Music http://www.myspace.com/myparentsfavoritemusic surprised us a lot. As a very energetic Steffo and friend sang their hearts out, and put on quite a set. So much i bought their CD.

Next was quite surprising, and it made me scratch my head as to why these guys are not more popular. Captain Dan and his Scurvy Crew http://www.myspace.com/captaindan
Pirate themed hip hop with a great sound. Great energy, lyircs, and beat! Wonderful live! I bought their CD as well.


Then one of the acts I thought I would never see... The Megas http://www.myspace.com/themegas

These guys were freaking amazing! More energy than i thought possible. Such talent! They made my night. I even got to meet them! http://twitpic.com/a2m4w

It was so awesome to experience music you never hear, because the radio stations are all junk. Radio stations only play the same 10 songs all day, which is really unfair to the music world.... but thats another blog totally.
