Described by living legend John Waters as “big, strong and totally wrong” and by a bemused Swedish promoter as “the drunkest band I’ve ever seen”- they’ve consistently whipped audiences around the world into participation and perspiration in their infamous group push-up rituals in the pit for over a decade. Through hundreds of performances all over the world they’ve peddled their brutal songs about muscles, vehicles and the failures of father and must be witnessed in the flesh (however porcine) to be believed. — Mega Ran is a Grammy-Nominated former middle school teacher turned rapper, songwriter, producer, podcast host and author who makes crowd-powered interactive and fun hip-hop  inspired by games, family and pop culture. A pioneer of the “nerdcore” music subgenre, he’s rocked audiences all over the world, placing music in million-selling video games (Mortal Kombat, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), TV programming (WWE, AEW) and films (Clerks III) while remaining independent.
