Last night’s Nerd Noise Night at the Horseshoe Tavern with headlining act The Cybertronic Spree was nerd-tastic. The opening acts featured musical performances ranging from folk to hip-hop to electronica, all covering topics of video games, sci-fi, and general geekery, much to the delight of the audience, most of whom came to the show from Fan Expo.

The Cybertronic Spree dressed up as characters from the 1986 Transformers movie (Hot Rod, Arcee, Rumble, Spike, Unicron, and a Quintesson) and played songs from its soundtrack — did an excellent job. Not only did they get the crowd dancing, they also played note-perfect versions of those oh-so-eighties tunes from the film, including its best-known one:

That's my video! Thanks for the link and the write-up, these guys deserve all of the love.
A couple of them were at Fan Expo today in costume, too. Nerd Noise Night had a table in the North Building next to ours for Ad Astra, so I got to chill and chat (and share doughnuts with) one of the people who put on the show.
Thanks for the awesome review! Do you mind adding a credit to your header photo? The head shots were done by the amazing Paul Hillier at http://www.paulhillier.com/
