Northwest Nerdcore

We have way to much to tell you for this to wait till the next edition of the Nerdcore Week in Review, so lets dive right in.

• As promised, we would let you know when we found out anything about “The Digital Gangster” EP, and I am pleased to say that, while we didnt exactly find out any more information about it then we already had, MC Lars dropped the first single from the project on his MySpace page. On ‘Paul is Dead’ Lars and YTCracker explore conspiracy theories…did Jimmy Hoffa really die?
• Speaking of MC Lars and YTCracker, they will be in the Northwest for a show on November 16, at the High Dive in Seattle…YTCracker may be in portland around that time for another show, but nothing is confirmed.
• In the recent Rhymetorrents.org 2v2 Battle competition, MC Gigahertz and Mad Hatter (as The Rubicks Dudes) claimed overall victory. The entire competition has been made available for download here
• Schaffer the Darklord was recently interviewed by The Apiary, where he discussed his roots in comedy, his brand of Nerdcore music, and even his experiences with underground hip hop.
• The 8 Bit Boys have a website now, where you can pre-order their upcoming album “8 Bit Diagrams”. For those of you who dont know, the 8 Bit boys consist of Entity, The Ranger, TyT, and YTCracker.
• Jarod (AlienBobZ, our Audio Archivist) has put up 8 videos from Optimus Rhyme’s final performance, with more promised, and high quality audio is sure to follow.
• Northwest favorite Beefy will be opening for mc chris at Chop Suey in Seattle on the 14th…an interesting development considering chris’s attitude towards nerdcore turned sour not to long ago.

Phew…Thats all for now.
