nerdcore for life

[decomposing]

just thought I'd post this if anyone finds it amusing
I helped do some camera work for it when I first moved to the Seattle area
pretty fun documentary and had no idea about the genre prior
optimus rhyme, mc chris, YTcracker and lord of the rhymes are my favorites
mc hawking gets honorable mention'

get ready for the onslaught
I shot live video for most of these artists in seattle for this documentary which is actually way rad
I had my doubt while shooting
but it turned out and travelled the circuit of underground fests worldwide
glad to be a part of it

MC CHRIS
I WANT CANDY
shot him at el corazon for the doc
come on, AQUA TEENS!

I think I shot these guys at the high dive
best band in the genre barnone
they disbanded because of one guy's health issues
and various copycats
all real instruments
which was a big deal for the genre

I worked with one of these dudes at apple
and one of the guys mom was in the band for certain songs
let's just say she was/is a catch
they're funny shit

I filmed YTCRACKER and a bunch of nerdcore artists at a shitty dive in kirkland in 2006 when I first moved to the northwest
the bar was a douche kind of place
lot of flyers with lame chicks in bikinis and shows for lame bands
it's the eastside
and nobody came out
it was pretty much the film crew and like 8 people in beginning
around 20-30 people showed up later
but he came out with a power glove on and armfuls of women rapping
pretty gangster
plus I think he's one of the most famous hackers that went legit

I approve of this thread. I always like learning about cultures and movements I'm not a part of or don't understand.

I've heard a couple of the names, like mc chris and MC Frontalot but never delved in deep to this scene.

I approve of this thread.

This is like he evil bastard science babies of Weird Al" Yankovic and Weird Al" Yankovic

oh there's more...
I had no idea about any of this except for mc chris going into it
which I was pretty stoked to film
but there's some pretty interesting things in it
not sure how many are still going though?
