AWESOME: We... shot this!
AWESOME: We... shot this!
Because we liken ourselves to the Beasties in most things, the title is reference to their similarly titled live performance movie "AWESOME: I... shot that!"
This is the first public performance for 64K ever, and the first thing any of us have ever performed in a LoadingReadyRun capacity. Morgan's first time on a stage too.
We think it went very well.
Come see our show. Alternately, buy the DVD.

As you wish:
Offa the monitor and onto your stage
We're live
In the flesh
And we're bringin' the rage
We're breathin' out fire and our quality's tight
Live at the Fringe on a Saturday night
Knock knock
Who's there?
It's 64k
G*Star
JP
And our man Ice Tray
A C64 is our only DJ
And we're reppin this show 'cuz it's a dope ass play
My name's JP and I'm the Yoda of rhyme
Do or do not, my beats'll serve my time
For the crime, my bounty's high, even for Metroid Prime
Tho when the hunter brings me in she'll find there is no try.
I’m Ice Tray, bitches, and I’m here to stay
For the play and every day we gonna blow you away
I’m 1337, they say, even for 64k
And I may stay to play even past my Birthday
G*Star, getting far on the loading-ready-radar
I rhyme sublime and I’m shoutin’ out to homestar
I don’t play drums or an electric guitar
But I pimp beats fresher than Xibit pimps cars
Our poise and dramatic flair
Are astronomical
I can’t think of a good rhyme
For astronomical
That’s kinda week dude,
I‘m sorry I know
Let’s cut to the hook so we can restart the flow
All around the town
the hype is abounding
all about a show whose sound
It’s asounding
Never past due
Never veering off the mission
Clever to a point past the price of admission
The loading ready crew has been slaving for weeks
And also playing WOW and DS light cuz it’s chique
And also D&D and sometimes Oblivion
Dota and Burnout while talking on Trillian.
I’m not gonna pretend
We’re always on-task
We’re white
And we’re lazy
Our initiative’s ass
But still our jokes pass, in fact, they kick ass
They out and outclass each and every impasse.
Ice Tray, G*Star and the electric JP
Redefine the rhymes of most dope MCs
And loadingreadylive’s set to do the same
To each and every show that ours makes look lame
We set aflame the stage, and ignite the script page
Not afraid to engage, either calm or enraged
Our message is aged and it won’t be assuaged
It’s not war we wage but a dramatic RAMPAGE
We’re bringing down the house from doors to proscenium
And sorry guys but I screwed up the rhyme again
Man what is with you?
Your beats are all GAY
That word’s not meant as a pejorative, ‘kay?
We’re almost done now
Just one more verse
Next time, make note, we need to write and rehearse.
[hook]
We droppin out verse
Just like Will Shakespeare
Gonna get paid
Cuz our rhymes are out the stratosphere
We know tonight’s show is gonna blow off ya faces
Put Beckett and Stoppard back in their places
Arthur Miller is filler
Caryl, Churchill take a number
Oscar Wilde we’re earnest while in death do you slumber
Not even Eddie Albie can match our styles
We’re mixing Oleanna with a dose of Bured Child
Got six point four-k psychosis on our minds
And our lines aren’t mighty, they’re explosive land minds
So let’s get it on, let’s get the show started
Dude you had more lines, what are you, retarded?
I find that offensive,
Yeah man, that’s just rude
Well come on, he started it,
Yeah, lose the ‘tude
There could be people here
who find that word offensive
Woah
Calm down!
Now don’t get defensive!
What I’m not defensive
There you go again!
I’ll mess you up, bro
C’mon, bring the pain!!
We gotta throw down backstage for a while
We’ll settle this like men, STREET FIGHER STYLE!
Ken,
Ryu,
I guess I’m Chun-Li
Enjoy the show, folks,
In one . . . two . . . THREE

I was wondering about that. How many of you have stage experience? Watching this video made me miss it. Now I want to look into community theater, but I totally gotta find a job with a static schedule first.

Graham was in a few productions with the Oak Bay High Community Theatre Society, Bill was in a musical called Circus two years ago, and I have about ten years of stage experience, though it's about eight years stale, for the most part. I'm also currently a non-performing member of a local improv troupe.
I think that's about it (at least for the cast of LRL. Some LRR contributors--Andy--have reams of stage experience.)
Flawless Victory
Flawless victory indeed. 64k proves it can bumrush the show live, similar to how the Spice Girls proved they were not just studio creations during their October 12, 1997 concert in Istanbul. Exactly like that. Though the sound was soso, so that the lyrics post was very welcome, the visual aspect was beyond all expectations, with the two-camera, partly handheld action just as dynamic as the group. Now I really wish I could be there to see the show! Looking forward to an amazing video document.
I got only 1/3 of the video game/technology references. That makes me feel old.

I just watched it again while reading the lyrics, and my appreciation has grown. This is probably the first rap song to namecheck Edward Albee and Tom Stoppard (Though as I recall DMX has also been known to rock the Sam Shepard references). Also points for working in the word "proscenium", if not rhyming it. (kryptonium? "scene one"?)

Z0MG!
Brilliant live debut. Beastie Boys? Public Enemy? ptsschhh, they gots nothing on 64k.
Also, the costumes were brill. I'm not sure if it struck anyone else, but I could not get this image out of my head whilst watching -
