Scrub Club is soaring quickly to new heights, and four more talented individuals have enlisted to help power the No Dough Movement, make some killer music, and rock your faces… all at the same time! Crazy, right? So without further ado, let’s check these gentlemen out and welcome them to the family. Their pages and previous works aren’t on the site yet, but until then, please click on their names to visit their sites to get a preview of what is to come!
This past weekend has opened my eyes to a few new paths of thinking and reasoning when it comes to Scrub Club.
You have to understand, I mean this truthfully when I say that our four days at Gen Con were the biggest, tightest bonding experience we’ve ever had together as musicians and friends. The Friday night show AT Gen Con was the best, most fun show I’ve ever performed, seen, or been involved with in over nine years. It’s not like it was a 30,000 attendee sold out show or anything, and the equipment we were provided was sub-par… but the VIBE. The vibe was through the roof. The vibe from the crowd and our fellow Scrubs pierced Heaven and whatever other afterlife you may believe in, all in a big, long row like a delicious beef, chicken, shrimp, and veggie skewer. And then it all wrapped up with a fun time performing our first outside set at Scotty’s in downtown Indiana, which felt more like a supportive family reunion than anything.
Due to an overwhelming response to our not-so-hopeful Nerdapalooza announcement last week, we must once again be amazed in the presence of you – our amazing fans, friends, and business partners who keep our machine oiled and running. When we told you that several artists from Scrub Club Records wouldn’t be able to make it to Nerdapalooza this year, you took quick action, showing us just how important it is that SCR rocks one of the freshest geek reunions and just how possible it is that your power can help get us there.
Some absolutely wonderful reviews have come in for Dr. Awkward’s still-hot-off-the-release album “Unlimited” and the recent full release of Krondor Krew’s “The 6th Rotation of the House of the Chaos Star!” To read the reviews in full, simply click the banner image of the site in which you want to check out, or follow the text link at the end of each excerpt. Thanks to Z over at Hipster, Please and Curtis Silver over at Wired for the awesome words! We love you bastards!
Hey All! We’re a month into the release of Unlimited as well as a month since the launch of DRAWKWARD.com. I wanted to take a little time out to update people on the happenings of yours truly.
First up is some news I am very excited about. As some of you may have seen, I have joined up with ZeaLouS1 as well as some of the most talented musicians I have ever met (Kevonious, Bishop, and Juggernaut) to form a band of superheroes / villains for your listening pleasure! We are The Bossfights! We are currently working on brand new tracks with a very unique musical style, so keep an ear to the internet for that. You can stay updated at www.TheBossfights.com
WHAT A RUSH! The Midwest’s own Gameboy and alcohol-fueled party band has joined forces with Scrub Club Records!
A new project that is unknown to most, the experience is best summed up with the video for their first single, “Buffalo:”
And believe me when I tell you this, because I just played a show with them a few weekends back, this video is a very accurate representation of just what to expect at a POWERLIFTER performance. Scratch that – it’s actually more wild than that, if you can believe it.
The Naked Gamers are obsessed with gaming. With all gaming. Whether it’s console games, PC games, card games, table-top games, or heck – even live action role playing, cosplay, and so on…. That common interest is why they decided to come together. Their website is the result of that decision, made to focus their passions and independent efforts into one place that represents not only the geeks and gamers of Wichita, Kansas, but those from all over the world.
One of their regular segments is “Music Monday,” where they showcase Nerdcore Hip Hop, chiptunes, and other sounds from the dork side. This week, they spotlighted Kabuto the Python and his recent release “Noncents Vol. 10.”
Totally feeling honored as I type this.
The Mediocre Show, a popular live radio show based in Pennsylvania and podcast of epic proportions, has featured a six pack of Scrub Club songs on their latest episode!
The badasses in charge are Eric Tomorrow, who has been the leader of the Mediocre nation since 2005 and Tha Mike, previously of the Awful Show and long-time supporting brother of Scrub Club Records. Every single week, they have great talk segments, contests, listener call-ins, and independent music. The show has been a featured comedy podcast on iTunes for four years running now and shows no sign of slowing down.
Just last week, we told you about Kabuto the Python’s random new Mass Effect 2 track “Those Minerals,” a rap about the single most exciting minigame on… er… It was about mining planets, okay?
Anyway, the single went viral and as of right now, it’s tipping to 70,000 downloads! But to put the icing on the cake even more, Ed from over at Litos HQ (or Ajijimular on YouTube) made an unbelievable homage to both the song AND ME2 by making the perfect music video you see above.
Please stop by his YouTube page and show some love, and subscribe for even more impressive videos.
