CP: Can you tell us a little about the first show?

Ross Nover: We did our first Super Art Fight, which was a small event, upstairs at the Ottobar [with headliner MC Chris].

NB: So originally it was going to be this side attraction in between bands. Sometimes when you go to shows, whether you're into the band or not, your attention wanders. Why not have something else going on?

MD: MC Chris is very particular about his opening acts. He likes to handpick them, he likes to have some control over them, and at the time we had no web presence. So he requested that weren't on the show. But Todd [Lesser] at the Ottobar thought that there would be an audience for what we do, so he said, "Alright, I still want you on the show tonight, but I'm going to put you guys upstairs." We were going to be very respectful. MC Chris goes on at 11 and we were going to finish at like, quarter of. So [we] go to the show, set up, and people are just entranced in the art [the competitors] are creating.

RN: And it's just so obvious that we're clearly capturing the audience's attention.

MD: In the transition period of us wrapping up and going downstairs, they had a DJ start playing upstairs.

NB: The volume levels were going up and, like, there was this party vibe in the room and it felt like something had exploded.

MD: We go downstairs. MC Chris is doing his thing, we're having a fun time. The bass from the DJ upstairs is so loud he can hear it onstage. And he calls us out, and he calls us "fags," and accuses us of trying to get on his show.

JN: So for our first official show, we wore shirts that said "White Rappers Hate Art Fight."

mc chris booker's email is davidgalea@theagencygroup.com. i emailed him and asked him to please not book mc chris in baltimore anymore. every time the guy comes here its something, i had not even heard about that happening, and art fight does good stuff, they brought anamanaguchi to baltimore finally. seems like mc chris' first defense is always gonna be to just call somebody a fag. but anyway, if enough people email and say their town instead of baltimore, i think eventually he will not get any more bookings.

So I was supposed to do a full US tour with Powerglove and The Protomen, a full month a half. It got cut down to a week, because Powerglove decided to do the MC Chris tour instead. LOL

fuck i didnt know he was such a big dickhead. bummer....

[Brandon Strader]

the guy has hit on a 15 year old for fucks sake.

I'm going to call kettle black and leave it at that. Nobody has a right to judge and will say no more.

What the hell are you saying, He-Who-Porks-Ever-So-Gently? Child abuse is ok because "Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone"? Fuck that.

[GENTLYPORKING]

Not going into it.

[Spookmeister C]

heh, I was amazed that anyone even mentioned him. How the fuck has his "act" lasted since the early 2000s? I didn't even know he existed outside of his Sealab appearances (his "music" certainly doesn't deserve to be known outside of that realm anyway) and he's actually putting on concerts and shit? Absurd.

Don't forget Aqua Teen, MC Pee Pants used to be my favorite episode.


I got to see him in Philly because Chromelodeon was opening for him, of course this was ages ago. I left about 3 songs into his set, it just gets annoying after a while.

Can't honestly say it comes as a surprise, but what an utterly fucking appalling verdict.

I'll be obtaining some official Kunio-Kun and Double Dragon shirts from Japan soon, I've been tasked with trying to sell them to show Technos Japan if there's an American market for them. If I'm sent a dozen or so, can I count on some Shizz support?

So.... yeah?

how did i miss this?

i'd grab a Kunio shirt, probably.

WOW. I'd for sure grab a Double Dragon shirt. Dunno what the status is on these, considering it was posted last month, but I'd be down if it's not too late.

I can't explain it, but I really want some Chick-Fil-A today.

[joe.distort]

[GENTLYPORKING]

Every time you eat Chick-Fil-A, a gay kitten is slaughtered.

I hope MC Chris gets cancelled so ArmCannon has a chance to get more famous.
