GeekDad HipTrax #75

With the event itself just around the corner, Ken and I couldn't resist the opportunity to chat up the Nerdapalooza team. Herein we discuss this year's amazing artist lineup, the ever-changing nature of the Nerdapalooza festival and GeekDad's proud sponsorship of this year's iteration. We also play some songs: "That Boy Could Dance" by Insane Ian An auto-tuned and uniquely danceable take on the Weird Al original, this Insane Ian track is one of 21 amazing selections from the new tribute album Twenty-Six and a Half. Ian will be appearing alongside fellow FuMPers Devo Spice, the great Luke Ski and the Consortium of Genius at next month's festival. "Bhost Gusters" by Armcannon This year's Nerdapalooza features an amazing array of geek rock and videogame cover bands. Among my most anticipated is Buffalo's Armcannon. Members of the group will also be performing alongside project creator Stemage as headliner Metroid Metal. Want to hear more?

The HipTrax theme song was created by Snake Eyes. He's what's strange in his neighborhood. Oh, and lest I forget we're giving away two weekend passes to Nerdapalooza 2011.
