Our story begins a long, long time ago. Not in a galaxy far away, but a city near you. This city is called McKeesport, PA.
... And so begins the story of M.C.K.
The family rap duo known as Aaron "Assault" Bova and Nick "Cray-Z Crack-A" Rotharmel, both grew up in McKeesport, PA. Their love of rap music was brought about by Cypress Hill and Insane Clown Posse in the early stages of their lives. Little did they know rap music would change their lives forever.
Skip forward to 1995.
MCK started out as "Electric Aliens" with the two founding members. Songs were written, but never recorded. They thought this music stuff was going to be simple and everything was going to happen quick. They were wrong. After years of never doing anything or getting anything solid together, the two split and went their seperate ways. Aaron, to play drums in a few bands, and Nick to continue his persuit in rap, this time only solo.
Skip forward to 2002.
Aaron went under the name of "Madd Juggla" and recorded his first song, "Mind Games," which had a debut at Number 10 on the Soundclick.com charts. Soon after, it went to Number 1 and held the spot for close to a year. Only one song ever beat it... "Mind Games (8 Rules Remix). Aaron’s own song. So for the rest of the time on the charts, the Number 1 and 2 spots were held by "Mind Games." Not too bad, eh?
Now you’re probably wondering what’s going on with Nick, right? Well you’re reading this, so I assume you are. Anyway, Nick began writing music like a madman, shelling out all of his anger and happiness into his lyrics. Nick was finally getting things going for his solo career. Within months, he knew what he wanted to do for his first cd and much, much more.
Nick started "S.U.A.A. Records" and brought in friends MX & Aces High to start a group called 412, as well as do solo cds. After about a year or two after, Cray-Z Crack-A finally got his LP together. Things were finally looking up for the Crack-A.
Skip forward to 2005.
412 was no more. Complications began to dwindle the group and Cray-Z Crack-A was solo once more. At this time, Assault was writing finishing his lyrics and was about to start recording his solo cd "Wilkommen." There was only one problem... The track written by Assault and Spectre aka Societal Demonz entitled "Mourning" was missing Spectre’s verse. Assault wasn’t about to have half a song, especially this one. Cray-Z Crack-A was asked to write a verse on this song. The Crack-A’s verse fit perfectly. (Puzzle pieces start falling into place at this point...) After they realize that seperately, they’re good, but together, they’re lyrical geniuses, they form an idea.
The year is 2006.
The year of truth. Assault and Cray-Z Crack-A join forces once again to make M.C.K. Songs started being written faster and faster and with more emotion and feeling than ever before. Soon after, they have enough songs for their first cd, untitled at the time,"Spectre Of Truth."
Fast forward a few months to August/September 2006.
Assault gets a show for M.C.K. at the Fun Zone in East Liverpool, Ohio. Finally, everyone is going to see just what M.C.K. is and what they’re about. Jumping on the bill with Legally Insane, Crap!, Twisted Thoughts, and No Clue?, this show was definitely going to be great... And it was. The crowd was really feeling M.C.K. After that show, M.C.K. started getting more and more together. Starting with getting more songs written and booking more shows, the possibilities are endless.
... And so continues the story of M.C.K.

It's time for more spam on your profile! I'm just kidding, spam is a matter of opinion.
We think this isn't spam, and you might neither if you're a band in the Pittsburgh area looking to start booking your summer shows!
(And if you're not, apologies, because this would be spam.
BUT, pass this on to your favorite local band if you desire, as this may help them!)
What happens a lot of times, is if we list the dates of shows that need bands, they get extremely filled up and then the date I listed is irrelevant.
Therefore, be sure to check out http://www. myspace. com/rottenprod or http://www. myspace. com/headquarterspa if you're interested in playing some shows in our new venue this summer! We're going through some minor renovations in the near future, but if you don't know what we're about or have, here's a brief overview:
We're a new Pittsburgh venue aimed at cheap shows for fans (perfect for these economic times) with no ticket sales for bands, while still providing a high quality show experience. We've updated our venue with some monitors, and we've always had high powered mains and subs, along with a 16 channel mixer and snake and powered amps and all that jazz. Basically, the system works pretty well. Oh, and for fans n'at, we have free pac-man, air hockey, pool table, and Foosball, along with a snack bar and a bunch of couches and chairs to lounge around and check out some awesome local bands (and even some touring bands!).
The Headquarters 2628 Mosside Boulevard Monroeville, PA 15146
If you have ANY QUESTIONS, feel free to leave me a comment back, alternatively you could check out our new website at http://www. headquarterspa. com/ .
If you would LIKE TO BE BOOKED on any available shows (and like I said, check back OFTEN as we're aiming for a TON of shows this summer, the goal is to leave no band showless during june, july, and august) then please visit and message http://www. myspace. com/rottenprod .
Thanks for adding us, if you haven't guessed already we're a new and up&coming MUSIC VENUE in the Pittsburgh area (Monroeville, PA)! We've announced a TON of shows coming up sooner than you'd think, and we need BANDS for them! I encourage you to check out http://www. headquarterspa. com/ for answers to almost every question you may have, including one that answers whether or not we do forced ticket sales for shows (hint: the answer's no). =D
Here's a list of dates. If you want a show on any of these dates, PLEASE click on the BOOKING link at http://www. headquarterspa. com/ and post the date you would like as the title, as we do not do any booking through this Myspace page I am commenting you from.
It's been a while, but we just posted some new tracks that have been collecting dust in the studio. Check out "Deathwish" and Suck "My Dick (The Ex-Girlfriend Song)" on the CRAP Myspace Page!!!
Now Assault has a picture of him laying me out at Sorgstock in June? That's it! The MCK has plagued me and interfered in one too many of my matches. Bring your asses to Sorgstock in August. We're going to finish this.
