MC Chris
Yesterday after work, Nick and I met Kevi to drive to Knickerbockers in Lincoln, NE. The trip was to see everyone's favorite "nerdcore/hip hop" artist, MC Chris. The show was supposed to start at 9, but that never happens, so we hung out at the bar, which is a pretty cool place.
MC Chris' opener was a dude who went by "The Show is the Rainbow." He did his sound test/setup after we got there, which included setting up a PC, projector, and a sheet - haha. Anyway, this dude was crazy. I'm so mad I didn't buy his CD. He had put together this video that he played during the entire show and went along with his songs the whole time. It was great. I can't really describe his style, he made fun of Indie, hippies, laws, and republicans a lot. He also showed this intro of him playing video games, smoking, and making brownies. When he came on stage he handed them out to people in the front row, haha. Then he did most of his singing/yelling/talking from the floor instead of on stage. I don't know. It was mostly just insanity - I loved it. And so did Kevi.
After "The Show is the Rainbow", MC Chris went on. He's awesome. His commentary between songs was just as good, if not better than most of his songs - hilarious. Plus his voice really is that high all the time, it's funny. He did a lot of good songs, he's really good live. We only missed Hijack.
So yeah, at midnight we drove home, it stormed a lot, we had to hide under a bridge, and I crawled into bed at 4:01 AM. We really ended the night with a bang.
A couple more pictures.
