Nerdapalooza 2010

Well, let’s start off this weekend by telling you what YOU need to be doing if you are in the Central Florida region: getting your butt over to downtown Orlando for the amazing Straight Up GEEK show going down tonight at 9 PM over at Club West 57 (right next to Backbooth, for those in the know). We have an AMAZING line up for ya, including everyone’s favorite ninjas, Krondor Krew; the magical diva, Erin of The House of Black; and my personal pal and favorite geek rocker, Marc with a C. This half-unintended Nerdapalooza showcase is being coordinated and MC’d/DJ’d by the phenomenal Dr. Vern of Sci-Fried! BOOSH! Nerdy Show will definitely have a presence there, too. There’s so much awesome goin down, you’d have to hate nerds NOT to go! It’s five bucks to get in, but bring twenty with plans on supporting the local scene.

Next up, we have some artists trying to get out to Nerdapalooza, looking for some help from you, the fans! Let’s start off with the crowned Prince of Nerdcore, Beef Thompson, himself. He recently dropped a new album called With Sprinkles, which he is shelling out for the low price of $10 a pop over at his Bandcamp Page. Twitter has been going CRAZY trying to help advertise this, and I thought I’d help!

Along the same lines, as you may have seen over at the Scrub Club Records website or at the Geek Peek Post, many Scrubbies are trying to get down to Florida for July, and are looking for your help to relieve Nerdapalooza of the full financial burden: most notably, KABUTO THE PYTHON, Mad Hatter, and Doctor Awkward are trying to come out to party with y’all and could use some help. They’re coordinating this with a raffle, hosting amazing prizes from a handful of Nerdapalooza artists. To support the scene AND have a chance at winning some sick prizes, head on over here and throw down a few bones!

Nerdapalooza don’t have much to announce this week… EXCEPT SOME MOAR ARTISTS!! Since we’re already on the subject of Scrub Club, it’s my pleasure to announce there will be an official Scrub Club set at Nerdapalooza! While some Scrub Club artists may have separate sets (examples being Krondor Krew and Z1), there are a few that are gonna make the trek to Nerd Mecca and rock your faces off. So far, ready to announce, the new blood of Scrub Club, Diabeats, King Pheenix, and StarF will be stepping up to the stage for the first time! There may be other Scrubbies mounting the stage with them, but they have yet to be revealed!!

The BIG announcement of today is the return of the sapphire squadron of musicians, The Megas! This year, they’ll be stepping up their presence: not only will they be playing late on either Saturday or Sunday, you’ll get a chance to see them on FRIDAY!! WHAT’S THAT!? I hear you exclaim! That’s right, the Megas are this year’s headliner for the annual A Comic Shop pre-party, which already has Insane Ian and MC COOL WHIP ready to kick some serious butt. Wow!

Well, that’s all we got for now, ladies and gents! Stay tuned as we get ever closer to announcing the final line up!! We’re working on having some more headliners, so some EPIC announcements may be on the horizon! Don’t stop believing!

Much nerdy love
