Music like Rocket Propelled Geeks

Nerdapalooza was an annual nerd music and arts festival in Orlando, FL, the first of its kind to invite all genres of the nerd music movement under one roof, including nerd rock, nerdcore hip hop, chiptunes, and video game music. The festival was conceived by John "hex" Carter, who hosted a nerdy music themed radio show through KRFH, the student-run radio station at Humboldt State University. The word is derived from nerd and palooza, a reference to Lollapalooza. Nerdapalooza, LLC was dissolved on October 29, 2013.

Nerdapalooza Southeast, the first Nerdapalooza event, was a nerd music festival centered in North Central Florida. The show showcased nerdcore hip-hop. It was organized by Rob Tobias. Proceeds all went to benefit "The Purple House", a charity dedicated to helping the homeless.
