It has been a wild month for human civilization, but that will not stop new episodes of Nerd Music Meltdown from coming out! We have LEX the Lexicon Artist back on the show and she has a new album coming out. Alter Ego is the second full-length album from LEX and it drops March 31st. We talk about that, how she has evolved as a musician, touring with mc chris, Schaffer the Darklord, and Super Smack (with some interesting stories), and what do expect from LEX after Alter Ego drops. Kent and LEX also dissect Mob Psycho 100, which is an amazing show! Before all that, Kent takes talks about the current COVID-19 pandemic and how it has impacted the nerd music community. Hopefully, we can all pull through. You can get more of LEX at thelexiconartist.com. Like this show and want to get new episodes before anyone else? Subscribe on patreon.com/ongakuoverdrive.

We talk about the end of Random Encounter, learning piano, wanting to be seen a more than a musician, and of course pro wrestling and why Jackson went through a table and filmed it.

It's the FIRST Nerd Music Meltdown of 2017 and on this episode Kent sits down with the baddest dudes from Buffalo, NY... Armcannon! (@armcannon) Armcannon is hard-hitting progressive rock band that has been playing classic video game covers for over a decade. They have a fourth album in the works that will be changing things up and we're going to talk about that, plus Armcannon's origins, getting Twitch in an uproar at this past MAGFest, their stance on Hulk Hogan, Danimal Cannon's solo career, the nerd culture(or lack thereof) in Buffalo, and of course, the Buffalo Bills. Check out Armcannon at www.armcannon.com. "The Me;tdown" theme by RoboRob.
On election eve, Kent (@fistofthemfk) sits down with one of Orlando's greatest musicians, Marc With A C! (@marcfi) Marc has been making music for over 15 years and became a part of the community when he played at the first Nerdapalooza in Orlando way back in 2008. We talk about that, Marc's origins, his approach to making music, including while on Ambien! We also talk about future projects, why unicorns get more bacon, and how fans value art and music these days. Check out Marc With A C at www.marcwithac.com. "The Meltdown" theme made by RoboRob
It's the debut of a new podcast, the Nerd Music Meltdown, hosted by Kent Ward (@fistofthemfk). Each episode, Kent will chat with prominent people in the nerd music community, whether it be video game bands, chiptune artists, nerdcore emcees, and more. We start off with a bang, as we have one of the faces of nerdcore's Mount Rushmore, Mega Ran (@megaran)! How about that? We're going to talk about his latest albums RNDM and Mat Mania, his growing presence in the world of pro wrestling, the Alex Trebek vs nerdcore controversy, meeting Keiji Inafune, and having his music featured in Mighty Number 9. Check out Mega Ran at www.megaran.com! "The Meltdown" theme by RoboRob. Nerd Music Meltdown brought to you by Ongaku Overdrive.
Which phrase is more appealing to you? At Dragon Con, Mikey Mason and I were talking about this branding topic. He calls his music Geek Comedy Rock. I call mine Celtic Geek. We obviously prefer the term Geek music over Nerd music. But the NerdCore genre has Nerd Music taking off around the country. Would it be better to use "Nerd music"? Whether it's called Nerd or Geek, it's all great fun. Music from Marc Gunn, Tom Smith, Rambling Sailors, Bill & Brenda Sutton, Brobdingnagian Bards, The Blibbering Humdingers, Aurelio Voltaire, Mikey Mason, Devo Spice. Pub Talk Now September 22nd is Hobbit Day, and I'm planning a Hobbit Drinking Songs on Concert Window. It's a free concert you can watch anywhere in the world. What struck me about Hobbit Day is that September seems to be Celtic Geek month. Septmber 17th is Halfway to St. Patrick's Day. September 19th is Talk Like a Pirate Day. September 22nd is Hobbit Day. Actually September 17-24th is Tolkien Week. So there's a lot of geekiness to celebrate this month. That said, I am hoping to get 100 people to say they are interested in attending my Hobbit Drinking Songs show on Facebook Event page. So if you're interested, please let me know. Then share the event page and the video so others might know about the big day. My former bandmate, Andrew McKee, finally has a mailing list. Head to his website at andrewmckee.com to subscribe and find out about his new album. If you want to get an early copy, you can also pickup the all new Ludicrous Drive of the Brobdingnagian Bards. It features all 13 of our albums, plus, videos and some live concerts, all in a spiffy, laser-engraved, wooden USB drive. Kilted Kings launched our Kickstarter for "Name On My Soul". We hit our initial goal. We're just $204 away from our stretch goal. Check out The Celtfather podcast if you want to find out more about the songs on the album. Will you help? I want to thank all of my patrons. Inspired by the growing success of my fan club, I setup my first Milestone in over a year.

Every other week, The Nerdy Show Network‘s flagship podcast pours over the latest geek news and happenings! Join us as we hang out with some of the most artful purveyors of Nerd Music on the scene: Chamber Band! You may remember when we spoke to them about their debut record Deities, or perhaps when they made it into the upper echelon of our Top 20 Nerdy Things of 2013. These rockers, who stole our hearts with their emotionally upending songs from the world of Dungeons & Dragons, have returned to conquer a whole new corner of the nerd kingdom: The Hunger Games. But, like their former record, this new album doesn't require fandom to be a fan - these nerdy nuances highlight bigger themes that anyone can connect with. Join Cap and Nerdy.FM station manager Lauren Furze (aka TheFifthSister) as they're joined by Ellen, Chris, A. Sarr, and Sam of Chamber Band for a journey into this new record: Careers. This episode journeys through the record with background on each track, songwriting stories, and tales from the road. Cap has zero Hunger Games experience, so Lauren and Chamber Band light the way - sharing how they got into the series, what they connected with, and what made it into the album. This interview first appeared as a Nerdy.FM album-release listening party - October 5th, 2015.

We knew that our exploration of nerd music history would be lengthy, but we were surprised how deep the rabbit hole went. Recorded in one long sitting, dividing this episode into two parts was an on-the-spot decision. You can tell it’s gotten late, ’cause we’ve gotten a little loopy. Picking up where we left off - our adventure through nerd music history continues up to the present and into the future! Z from Hipster, Please! and Wired’s GeekDad. makes a brief time-traveling appearance, while the battle-ready, Adam WarRock stays strong with Hex, Cap, and Triforce Mike on into the night. Nerdy Show is proud to present the triumphant conclusion to “Nerdcore: The Past, Present, and Future of Nerd Music“. This episode features an EPIC group interview with some of the biggest names in Nerdcore: MC Lars, Random, K-Murdock, Tribe One, and Adam WarRock recorded during the Race Wars Tour.
