T-shirt Tuesday (Nerdcore Edition): “Giant Squid” hoodie by Gama-Go
Last night I went out to Chapel Hill to see MC Frontalot perform at Local 506. The opening act was singer/songwriter Brandon Patton, who also plays bass for MC Frontalot under the pseudonym BL4k Lotus. It turns out Brandon is a fellow aficionado of squid shirts, and he was sporting this awesome Gama-Go hoodie featuring their classic giant squid design. (Not available anymore, sadly.)
Unfortunately, I only cought the tail end of Brandon’s set, but I did get there in time to hear his rousing cover of The Pogues “Sally MacLennane.” Check out Brandon’s music at www.brandonpatton.com.
The MC Frontalot set was, as usual, nerdcore perfection. His brand new album Zero Day officially came out today, and you should buy it! With money! Go to Frontalot.com to find out how.
If you are not familiar with Front’s brand of intelligent, geeky hip hop, here is a video I took this February at his previous local show. The song is “Bizarro Genius Baby” from his second album Secrects From The Future.

Indeed, I am crazy about cephalopod tees. Maybe I will start sending you pictures of some of the others I adore. Good to meet you the other night!
Hi Brandon,
It was great to meet you too. You guys totally rocked the fucking house down! It would awesome if you wanted to send some pictures! Send any submissions to indiesquidkid@gmail.com. Now that I think about it, I should actually post that on the website somewhere…
Hey, nice! Brandon dropped me a line that there was another cephalod-o-philic Front fan out there. Nice to (virtually) meet you!
Nice to meet you too, and thanks for checking out the blog!
