Consortium of Genius

• They have conquered and destroyed every style of popular music.
• They combine super-science, super-villainy, and comedy to rock audiences into brain-drained submission.
• They have proven unstoppable by all conventional (or even supernatural) means.
• They possess more PhD’s than any other band in history.

Only ONE band can claim to have accomplished all these feats and lived to rock about it – the Consortium of Genius!

Formed in 1993 by lead vocalist Dr. Milo T. Pinkerton III, and performing live lectures since 1996, the Consortium of Genius, despite somehow NOT taking over the world (yet), have remained a vital force in the field of mass mind-control music manipulation.

The current band features Dr. Z on bass, Dr. Winchester on keyboards, Prof. Glitch on guitar and Drumbot on drums.

• 31 years of musical madness, beginning with the album "Songs of Violence & Stupidity" in 1993
• 5 albums + 23 singles
• 17 different songs played on the Dr. Demento show since 1999
• 27 songs played on The FUMP since 2008
• 110 episodes of 'Escape From the Secret Lab' (92 bands guested, 23 bands defeated)
• Thousands of lab rats, COG-noscenti & radioactive zombies educated & entertained!

THE CONSORTIUM OF GENIUS WILL BE HEADED YOUR WAY, QUITE SOON. BEWARE!!!

2d6

In the year 20XX, two tiny animals found a pair of magical dice and transformed into gross humans who rap. These two, Cliff B and DJ Stuck Down A Mineshaft, rock the nerdcore hip-hop subgenre with their rhymes about video games, tabletop roleplaying, Avogadro's number, conventioneering, Boba Fett, the future, the past, bleeps, bloops, etc.

Listen:

• Nerds know a lot about words.
• Rappers must know a lot about words to succeed.
• QED, nerds are the best rappers.

Allow 2d6 to pelt you with candy as they rap at you. Fun for the whole family, if the whole family is 16+, because sometimes the language gets salty.
