What do you do when your friend More Or Les calls you out of nowhere to request your presencer as part of his set for the most famous and beloved nerd music­oriented concert series in town? You RIP THAT SHIT TO SHREDS, of course! I was thrilled to rock “Whaddup Witcha” and “Get Back” for a wildly enthusiastic nerd crowd at the Horseshoe Tavern on the night of Sunday the 31st, adding some A­1 B12 energy and inimitable Rhino pizzazz as an extra boost to Les’ already brilliant set. Shouts as well to Nerds With Guitars, the amazing Detroit dance act Johnny Headband, and the Cybertronic Spree, who dress up in costume and exclusively perform the instrumental music from the animated ‘80s Transformers movie (I shit you not! I’m talkin’ a dude in big­ass devil horns absolutely SHREDDING on the geetar! Amazing!)

The Amazing Chokeules dropped his new album Stay Up! tonight (coincidence?) at Rancho. To help support a brother with his amazing new CD, Rhino, along with fellow lefties SJ The Wordburglar and More Or Les, got up with Choke to do the smash posse cut Leftorium! Always a fun night at Rancho and $5 rap. And UltraMagnus was amazing as usual! As was fellow HHK SciFi holding it down in the opening slot! Big Ups!

Shouts to the homie Righteous for booking us a gig opening for the Boston legend Ed OG! Also on the bill are the likes of Gee Wunder, Icky Eric, Babu G, Lingo Starr and our amazing homie Wasun. Thursday July 17th, at the El Mocambo, 464 Spadina Avenue at College, downstairs! 20 bucks for entry! We’re on around 11 PM! We opening for classic rap legends like we trading hockey cards! Tryna get the whole set one day baby!

Wow that was amazing. Pictures Forthcoming. As will be the video! Stay tuned and Stay Up!

Goin’ a see The Roots on Sunday? Join Measuring Man and I as we aid our dear brother, the Grand Funkin’ Verbalizer More Or Les, and his trusty ally Peter Project to smash a couple numbers in the opening slot on the Festival Hub Stage! BANG!
