Schaffer the Darklord
Schaffer the Darklord
Hip-Hop/Rap
Schaffer the Darklord (or STD) is a New York City-based rapper, drummer and
comedian with material best-suited for nerdy and/or hedonistic audiences. With manic
energy fueling a cartoonishly commanding stage presence, STD skewers such topics
as substance abuse, sexual compulsion, urban anxiety and obsessive cat-enthusiasm.
Imagine a Frankenstein-esque monster assembled from equal parts Bill Hicks, Adam
Yauch, Joey Ramone and Prince, stitched together inside the shell of a maniacal heavy
metal ex-patriot. STD has released nine albums and is a founding member of the
touring nerdcore hip-hop collective known as the Four-Eyed Horsemen, along with MC
Lars, Mega Ran and MC Frontalot. When he's not on the road, he produces the NYC
burlesque/wrestling hybrid event called “TasselMania.” STD continues to write, record
and perform with great frequency and has no intention of stopping until his rock and
roll lifestyle destroys him.

MC Snax
Hip-Hop/Rap
MC Snax has made it his mission to spread some much needed joy and freshness in an often negative and stale world. In his ever-building career, he has self-released several albums and EPs, all the while building a dedicated support base. Whether he's writing about saving the world from an alien invasion with former WWE Champion and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, or rapping at length about his favorite discontinued snacks, the MC Snax discography is a vast resource of absurdly positive and oftentimes positively absurd music. Snax also co-hosts a Juggalo-themed podcast named Hatchet Chat with MC Lars. With his strong D.I.Y. ethic, MC Snax produces, records, mixes and masters all of his own music. Formulating a combination of synth-pop, chip-tune and hip hop, MC Snax plans on taking his unique style of music as far as it can go!
