Recorded Performance, Lars & YTCrack, SinSix, and RTH3.0
Sorry we’re a day late, everyone in the Z1 camp is either suffering from a cold or stuck at work, so we’re seriously lagging this week.
Last week, ZeaLouS1 performed live in front of a very enthusiastic home crowd in San Marcos, CA. His radio show, The Takeover, attempted to bring it to you live via the Internet, but ultimately technical difficulties prevented that from happening. But the show’s audio was recorded, including the live performance from ZeaLouS1, so head over to 247Takeover.com to download it! And don’t forget to tune in live this upcoming Sunday night as The Takeover brings you another great show, and jump in the chat to interact with the cast and its fans.
Two big ZeaLouS1 music releases are being dropped this week, and we want to bring them to your foremost attention.
First up, The Takeover interviewed Madhatter of Scrub Club Records and new super-group Sinister Six just the other week, all to hype up the just released debut album from Sinister Six, “Invasion of the Mic Snatchers.” ZeaLouS1 is part of this release, contributing his anything but standard brand of in your face aggression and graceful, playful flow to many of the tracks. Rounding out the line-up are Madhatter, of course, but also YTCracker, Benjamin Bear, MC_Loki, and Chester. An incredible line-up that leads to an incredible production, you can download “Invasion” free of charge at the Scrub Club site.
Second, due out tomorrow, is something we’ve all been looking forward to, and that’s the release of the “Digital Gangster LP” from super-duo MC Lars & YTCracker! ZeaLouS1 is prominently featured on the track “Do the Bruce Campbell” with the two, along with nerd super-power, Shaffer the Darklord. The track is a hell of a ride, with thumping beats and wailing guitars, and Z1 comes through nicely. “Do the Bruce Campbell” is currently streaming from both MC Lars‘ and YTCracker’s MySpace pages, so check out the song, and then check back November 1 when the LP drops!
To close out, even though Z1 couldn’t get the time cleared to participate, we want to recommend downloading the new Rhyme Torrents Halloween 3.0 compilation. This is yet another comp of awesomeness filled to the brim of nerdcore talent, including IllGill, the Ranger, Devo Spice, Myf, MC wreckshin, MC_Loki, and more, all rockin’ out in the spirit of Halloween! Head over to Rhyme Torrents.org and download it tonight and play something decent for the trick-or-treaters this year instead of that CD of “spooky sounds” you bought from Wal-Mart for 99 cents 10 years ago :P
The big news this week is that ZeaLouS1 will be packing up his Takeover show and hauling it across town to produce the show live at Churchill’s Pub & Grille in San Marcos, CA, this Sunday night!
This looks to be an exciting all-ages event, as it marks the first live remote broadcast of the Takeover, as well as it’s first full on-air performance (other than Z1’s classic weekly show-stopping freestyles, of course). KKSM AM 1320 Palomar College Radio and Subnation are also fully backing the live show, which means we’ve got a $50.00 cash prize for our Halloween costume contest, a box full of t-shirts, hats, CDs, and bags to give away, and to top it all off, LA hip-hop artist Raven Sorvino will be coming down for a live on-air performance.
Oh, yeah, ZeaLouS1 will also be performing ;P
This is not a show to miss! If you’re in the SoCal area, come down, dress up and join in the fun! If you’re not, we will be broadcasting LIVE from the pub, so tune in at 6 PM PST at 247Takeover.com!
Thank You For the Demands, and ZeaLouS1 Live Sunday
A quick update for this week!
Our thanks go out to all of you who Demanded ZeaLouS1 in Eventful’s “Fire Up the Fans” competition! Though Z1 didn’t win (national touring screamo band Brokencyde did) he did get over a hundred of you to tell him where he should tour next, and from the Demand counts, it definitely looks like we’ll have to hit up Washington state real soon, and Philadelphia and Texas from there. Want ZeaLouS1 to come to your town? Even though the contest is over, you can still Demand ZeaLouS1, so head over to Eventful.com and tell him you want him!
The Takeover continues this Sunday night without a guest to interview, but that’s because ZeaLouS1 will be ending the show a little early so he can get across town to perform live at Churchill’s Pub & Grill! Aw, not in the SoCal area? Don’t worry, we’ll be broadcasting the show live on-air via the KKSM on-line radio station! We hope you’ll be able to make it one way or another as it should be an awesome local show, full of Z1’s friends and family. Tune into the Takeover live at 6 PM PST at 247Takeover.com and stay afterward for the live performance by Z1, or visit Eventful.com for full details on attending in person!
ZeaLouS1’s “Valley of the Moon,” from his latest album, The Living Epitaph, is currently ranked at number one on thesixtyone’s “New” page! Click here to check it out and bump it!
Escape from LA, the Takeover, Order TLE, and Team Shinra
Hey everyone! Here’s this week’s update:
Last weekend, ZeaLouS1 performed twice over the weekend in Los Angeles, CA, closing out his summer tour schedule with a double barrel shotgun bang! HIs first date was his second appearance at IllGill’s Warp Zone, where he performed a solid set in front of a tightly packed room full of Hollywood’s young and trendy. All we can say is if you have a chance in the future to drop into the Warp Zone and party with IllGill, we highly recommend you do so, most definitely.
ZeaLouS1’s final summer date was a quick stop in downtown LA on the way home to San Diego at the Tribal Cafe, a hip little spot that’s part coffee house, part live venue. After downing a couple of fruit smoothies for courage, Z1 got up and represented his brand of Nerdcore hip-hop incredibly well, getting everybody going, ages 5-55 :) We have a couple of videos of that performance in the BOSSFIGHT Records YouTube Channel, and here’s one of those, a great silhouette version of “Evermore:”
With ZeaLouS1 back in the studio for the winter, readying his new album for a drop in 2009, there’s going to be a lot of downtime in the news department. Thankfully, the Takeover, hosted by none other than Z1 himself, will make it’s official return this Sunday night for a brand new season! If you’ve never heard of the Takeover before, it’s a live weekly radio/Internet broadcast hosted by ZeaLouS1 featuring in-depth discussions regarding zombies, teen celebrities and all of the latest Nerdcore hip-hop rumors, interviews with actors, comedians, and musicians, and of course plays of all the latest and greatest hip-hop, rock, pop and alternative music. The Takeover is a great way to get to know ZeaLouS1 better and find out what’s going on in his world and mind every week, and with the chat room at 247Takeover.com, you can converse with him directly and even participate in the show! ZeaLouS1 and the Takeover crew really hopes everyone can tune in live, but if you can’t, you can always download the broadcast via MP3/iTunes to listen whenever you want from the links on the website. The Takeover airs every Sunday night at 6 PM PST, 9 PM EST, on AM 1320 in San Diego, or globally on the Internet at 247Takeover.com!
We have an apology to make to a few of you :( For the past month, a technical error has prevented some of you from ordering ZeaLouS1’s latest album, “The Living Epitaph.” We really apologize for this, we had no idea until a dedicated fan brought it to our attention. We’re happy to say that orders are once again shipping, and if you ordered your copy of the album this week, it is now officially in the mail. To make up for the mixup, we’re bringing back the special we had last Christmas by giving everyone that orders the new album a second copy to give to a friend. We hope this more than makes up for everything :)
Something we completely forgot to mention last week (more apologies) ZeaLouS1 and his BFF MAJA have joined forces and entered into an MC battle tournament as “Team Shinra” over at the new Rhyme Torrents.org! This means completely new songs featuring the two monster rappers! The songs are entries into the tournament, so while they’re not “official” releases, they’re still great to download and bump :D You can check out the latest tracks at the Rhyme Torrents.org forums, and don’t forget to tell Z1 and MAJA what you think of “Team Shinra”!
That’s it for this week, don’t forget, the Takeover LIVE this Sunday!
Also, later tonight, the Takeover returns! The first show of the new season starts at 6 PM PST, 9 PM EST with producer Tony B. live in the studio, and ZeaLouS1 and The Dark Prince calling in from Los Angeles. Listen locally in San Diego on AM 1320, or globally at palomarcollegeradio. com, and jump in the chat room on the official Takeover website, 247Takeover. com!
