Have you ever heard of someone who eagerly began learning to play a musical instrument, excited by the idea of creating music; and before long felt so frustrated and discouraged by the process of translating a page of dots and symbols into meaningful sound that they gave it up and decided they are “just not musical?” Our guest today can relate to that story, and he has dedicated his life to connecting kids – and adults -- to music in a new and powerful way.

We have one of the hardest-working musicians in the Florida nerd music community, the one man punk rock band, Rhythm Bastard! (@rhythmbastard) We talk about that, getting inspired to make music from rhythm games, playing the Florida convention circuit, making music for an upcoming wrestling video game, how he feels the furry community is similar to punk rock, and various social topics. 

Rhythm Bastard has several convention performances coming up at OtakuFest in Miami, LumiCon in Tampa, and Anime Iwai in Fort Lauderdale. Find out more at rhythmbastard.rocks.

Kent also talks about his recent appearances at GAAM and Twitch Orlando and what those groups mean to their communities. Like to get these episodes early? Subscribe to us at patreon.com/ongakuoverdrive.
