Genre: comedy-rap
For fans of: “Weird Al” Yankovic and Eminem

Devo Spice is a nerdcore and comedy rapper from New Jersey who has been called "the red-headed stepson of Weird Al Yankovic and Eminem."

Devo Spice founded the comedy rap group Sudden Death whose songs "Cellular Degeneration", "Getting Old Sucks" and "Pillagers" were the numbers 1, 2, and 4 most requested songs on Dr. Demento in 2007. In 2012 Devo Spice's song "In The 80s" was the 4th most requested song of the year.

10pm- The DeLorean Sisters
Genre:  bluegrass versions of 80’s 1 hit wonders

Ever wonder what it would sound like if Depeche Mode went back in time to 1927, hit up the nearest whiskey still and grabbed a banjo? Ever wish the Carter Family played at your prom–in 1985? Well, you’re in luck: the DeLorean Sisters reimagine synth-pop hits and keytar karaoke staples as old timey, early 20th century Americana.  It’s Marty McFly with a washboard; the Dust Bowl meets the Superbowl Shuffle. You'll never hear Toto the same way again.

Time Out says Thu Mar 15 2012, "The Delorean Sisters view the ’80s through sepia-tinted glasses, covering new-wavey classics like the Eurythmics' "Here Comes the Rain Again" in a vintage-folk style, complete with banjos and earthy harmonies."
