Big fan of nerd punk.  I make music nobody listens to, with Umbra, which is the name of the system I created out of a cluster of raspberry pi computers running sonic pi and other software I wrote.
Influences-  DEVO, Oingo Boingo, Nirvanna, The Phenomenauts, Atom and his Package, The Aquabats, Talking Heads, Ben Folds, and others.

Finding independent and unique music. Anything but country (not including folk and western).

Thundering Asteroids! is a punk rock band from Portland, OR.

Punk rock for sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, dickheads, and righteous dudes.
