Welcome to the first actual Holiday Free Saturday Night Nerdstravaganza! With me, your host: Chuck Magnusson! The holidays have kept me busy, True Believers, but luckily I am back in the saddle this weekend! Luckily there are quite a few things to discuss!
Tonight, Music will be the focus of my presentation. Fortunately I've gotten three bands, all Nerd focused really. These three bands only share one thing in common: They really like costumes. NOW! Step into my Lab and we shall begin!
The first band we discuss is one of my favorites personally...
The Aquabats!
The Aquabats are one of the craziest, zaniest bands around. Once just regular people, living out life on their home island of Aquabania, they fled to California when the island came under attack by the nefarious Space Monster M. They were discovered by Professor Monty Corndog on the California shore, and given Super Powers through experimentation, along with some musical instruments. Now they aim to conquer the world with their music, hoping to raise an army to assault, and retake their homeland of Aquabania. Pretty harrowing stuff. Also, one of their members is a robot.
The Phenomenauts
In the 33 1/3 Century, The Phenomenauts journey through space, seeking out new life, to boldly go where no man has gone before, etc. Surf rock is the tune of this band, as they give off a real 50's/60's space exploration vibe. The Phenomenauts are the alpha squad for a future spin on the United Federation of Planets. I also really enjoy this band. They branded their unique space surf rock: 'Rocket Roll.' Oh, and they have a robot in their band. That counts for quite a bit in my book.
GWAR
Eons ago, there existed a group of warriors, who ravaged the Galaxy, hating most everything that was alive. Eventually however, they grew too strong, and were banished to a planet for their heinous crimes. The planet Earth to be exact. As millions of years passed, they slumbered, encased in ice. But as pollution from our societies grew, their prison melted away. Now they walk the planet, dedicated to destroying the human race. They are also the sickest band in metal history (according to them).
And there you have it true believers! Three bands, three unique genres, ALL NERD! I believe I have overstayed my welcome in this time period. I must now return to the past. I just received a note from Franklin Roosevelt. Apparently, he needs some help cleaning out his basement. I just skimmed it really, something about a baseball and a giant marauder rat or something. Gotta go!
'Till next time True Believers!
