I was too wiped out by the time I got home last night to make my post, so I’m doin’ it this morning… that’s right, MC Chris rocks so rough I couldn’t blog.
So, the concert was scheduled to start at 9:00 PM, but we didn’t get started until 10:00 PM (the rumor floating around was that they had other bands that were supposed to play, but they didn’t show… I don’t know if it’s true, but it’s a good rumor). First up we had local Omaha boys “The Family Radio“… they were bad ass! First of all, their goal was to beat Final Fantasy VII before the end of their set… they didn’t accomplish their goal, but they were able to beat Jenova, and as they were cleaning up their set and getting ready for MC Chris they did manage to defeat Sephiroth. As far as their music goes, it was highly energetic and was just great… if they put their mind to it they could really go places (although they did say this was their last concert for a long time, so who knows what will happen). Check out some of the shots I took below.
This is how you know a show is gonna rock:
Now for the band:
So after we were primed by the Family’s block rockin’ beats, it was time for our main course… oh FUCK, it’s goddamn MC Chris!
Unfortunately the MC is still recovering from his Hard Drive accidents and didn’t have all of his music loaded up on his Laptop, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t the best show ever! He opened with a great mix of the Mortal Combat theme and the Tiny Toons theme song (once you get it in your head, you can’t get it out) and followed up with most of his popular songs (Geek, Fette’s Vette, FTW, I Want Candy, etc). The audience participation was great… we learned some great moves such as “rap hands” and were ordered to do the robot and throw up gang signs, can’t beat that! Here’s a couple shots of the MC doin’ his thang:
Excellent! After his set he came down to the audience to shake hands and sign whatever we wanted. I got one of his last copies of Dungeon Master of Ceremonies (all sold out forevers now) and had him sign it. I also got a great shot with him… yeah, we be badass rebels, yo:
He promised he’d be back in the spring, so I look forward to that. Now I need to rest, because I’m running on just a few hours of sleep and am still sick… ugh! Peace out!
