Last night’s Nerd Noise Night at the Horseshoe Tavern with headlining act The Cybertronic Spree was nerd-tastic. The opening acts featured musical performances ranging from folk to hip-hop to electronica, all covering topics of video games, sci-fi, and general geekery, much to the delight of the audience, most of whom came to the show from Fan Expo.

That’s my video! Thanks for the link and the write-up, these guys deserve all of the love.

Thanks for the awesome review! Do you mind adding a credit to your header photo? The head shots were done by the amazing Paul Hillier at http://www.paulhillier.com/
