PBC Podcast #103: Madhatter - Overheat ( ExciteBike music video )

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 12:10:20 -0600

PBC Productions and Scrub Club Records present 'Overheat,' Mad Hatter's hip-hop tribute to the NES game Excitebike.

Dozens of geeks gathered together to shoot the video at MAGfest, a video and computer gaming festival run by fans, for fans. The 'ExciteBiker', Matthew Mahoney, is a THON veteran who was chosen both for his ability to bust a move and for his innate lack of fear. The video features Internet video game celebrities James Rolfe (Angry Video Game Nerd), Stuttering Craig (ScrewAttack.com), A_Rival (Wave Theory), Devon Riley (Captain S), Bobby Bokista (VirtualFools), and others.

A huge THANK YOU to all the fans and friends who showed up to the shoot. You're the best. Big shout out to Brenden and MAGfest - for throwing the baddest video game party on the East Coast every year - and also for helping make this video happen.

'Overheat' is one of eleven tracks on MadHatter's Nintendo-inspired rap album, 8-Bit Bullshit.

http://www.scrubclubrecords.com/music...

Hatter's site describes the album as "11 tracks full of nonstop Nintendo memories to bob your head to". The video was shot, cut, and conceived by PBC Productions member Chad Williams, who was genuinely inspired by Hatter's music. He remarks, "Nerdcore is a niche within a niche, but great albums like 8-Bit Bullshit transcend the limitations of the genre."

This video marks the first collaboration between Scrub Club Records and PBC Productions.

This week, PBC Productions is reaching out to fellow screwattack/youtube friend of ours who hasn't been feeling so well. He goes by the name of Sashanein, and he does a program called Still Gaming Review. You can check his stuff out by visiting www.youtube.com/sashanein. He has been a huge supporter of Captain S and PBC Productions since the get-go, and we appreciate his effort, so our little way of saying thank you was to produce a few episodes of Still Gaming for him while he was under the weather. Tonight we release our first installment with Z's review of Food Fight for the Atari 7800. Bon apetit!

Then there's NES, Chad's arch rival who will stop at nothing to steal the good Captain's code and wreak havoc in Video Land. See how it all began!
