One kid, 3 bikes, 2 bass drums, 23 ghettoblasters, a dream & a dunk. A Powerful Display of AWESOME-NESS. Formed on tax refund day 2004 when mike mcbike blew his refund in one day on a giant drumset and raided all the thrift stores in town of their ghettoblaster wares. The first demo was entitled demofloppy 2k4 and sold 25 copies in one night over at little reno. It was a 3.5" floppy disc with 3 songs and a readme file. It is now out of print. The follow up single was recorded in september of 2004 entitled "Ride The Lightrail" it contains 3 songs clocking in at about 5 minutes long. The best most intense 5 minutes of your life! On Ride The Lightning Ghettoblaster makes the transition from its 8 bit video game rap metal of demofloppy 2k4 and graduates to ripping off songs from movies and tv shows. AWESOME.
The live show is insane, and over the top. some might even say OVER THE EDGE. You will definatley clap alot, and probably punch yourself in the face like once or twice.
Vernacular goes in search of those who are familiar. You have been chosen to attend the Invisible College of Masonic spiritual weaponry engineering and feelin' all crazy and thangs.
