MC Lars, Math The Band

MC Lars, real name Andrew Nielsen, (born October 6, 1982 in Berkeley, California) is an American rapper. He is the self-proclaimed originator of “post-punk laptop rap”. He has recorded for Truck Records in the UK and his Laptop EP is licensed to Sidecho Records in the USA.

Math The Band

Math the Band is equal parts Atom and His Package and Andrew WK. Sampled casio sk1 drums, paired with solid square waves and more BPMs than can possibly be considered reasonable. Started by a sixteen year old kid who was kicked out of his high school pop-punk band, Math the Band has been going strong for 5 years, playing well over 500 shows throughout the US, Mexico and Canada, with bands such as Andrew WK, Matt and Kim, Polysics and Bob Doland.

“The War For Infinity and Adam WarRock represent a perfect storm, an ideal marriage of real nerd culture and real hip-hop.”

Having firmly established himself as the Internet’s foremost comic book rapper, Adam WarRock has gained widespread acclaim from both geek and nerd audiences, as well as hip hop and music fan crowds alike.

Adam WarRock’s hit single “Ira Glass” has been featured on PRI & NPR, as well as numerous sites, podcasts, and radio stations nationwide. His debut album, The War For Infinity was a featured release on iTunes rap/hip hop genre page and quickly became a bestseller on Bandcamp.com. His follow-up release, This Man… This Emcee!, also achieved best-seller distinctions on Bandcamp, and has continued to garner Adam praise for his ability to seamlessly meld the indie hip hop aesthetic with a sincerity and passion for both the personal and geeky things that move him in his life.

Adam WarRock has performed nationwide, as he continues to tour venues and comic stores, creating events in the most unlikeliest places. Recent notable performances include: Kracklefest at Emerald City Comic Con 2011, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund Liberty Jam at C2E2 2011, Meltdown Comics in Los Angeles, the World Famous Milestone in Charlotte, Criminal Records in Atlanta, and Nerdapalooza 2011 in Orlando. With his commanding stage presence and live show, Adam recently competed in Kollaboration ATL 4, a showcase for Asian-American talents of all genres and disciplines, and won the grand prize award from a panel of judges that ranged from heralded music journalists to professional musicians.

Never content to rest on his laurels, Adam WarRock continues to stay hard at work, and is currently set to release a new EP, professionally produced and mastered at Icon Studios in Atlanta, as well as The Browncoats Mixtape, the third in his series of geek-themed mixtapes that have gotten mainstream praise. He is the embodiment of Do-It-Yourself creative art, having started from scratch and built a music career completely independently. He continues to find fans in the most well known cultural icons, having received praise from the likes of director EDGAR WRIGHT, comic creators BRYAN LEE O’MALLEY and MATT FRACTION and Public Radio International CEO ALISA MILLER, as well as coverage from major pop culture websites such as SLASHFILM, NEWSARAMA and COMICSALLIANCE. Through a dedication to dope music, comic books and nerd culture, and an positive outlook on art and life, Adam WarRock is ready to leave audiences buzzing long after the lights go down.
