How Orlando Overdrive Came to Be

Every Spring, Ongaku Overdrive has presented Orlando Overdrive, showcasing the best nerd music acts in Orlando. the genesis of this event began from a conversation between Ongaku Overdrive founder Kent Ward and Orlando hip hop artist EyeQ on the lack of spotlight our local nerd music acts receive at events. The idea was to have an event fully dedicated to purely Orlando music acts.

After discussing this concept with many acts within the community, Orlando Overdrive was born! The inaugural Orlando Overdrive was held downtown at the former Backbooth. The second edition introduced a fan-voting aspect for several performer spots. The third edition added a local independent game showcase, and has made it to the finals of Orlando Weekly’s Best of Orlando for Best Local Music Festival or Music Series.

Orlando Overdrive IV Musical Lineup

EyeQ Based out of Orlando, Florida, EyeQ has played all over the country from PAX to MAGFest to SXSW, and everywhere in-between. His hustle, dedication, and passion to honing his craft and getting out there can not be overstated. EyeQ has a variety of powerful raps that always make a connection with fans, especially with his Attack on Titan album, Walls of Maria, which has been supported by Funimation social media on several occasions. In 2018, EyeQ was voted Best Hip Hop Act by the readers of Orlando Weekly in their annual “Best of Orlando” awards and has played at every year of our Orlando Overdrive event.

Jackson Parodi You’ve seen him at past Ongaku Overdrive events and maybe even on stage at MAGFest, Video Games Live, or Zeldathon. Jackson Parodi is the King of Accordion Style, weaving in his comedic timing and rapier wit with improvisational musical performance. Whether it’s on his Twitch broadcasts or at live events, Jackson specializes in playing anything and even taking audience requests. In addition to performing music, Jackson enjoys sewing, baking, and professional wrestling.

Geekapella Geekapella, as you have guessed, is a nerdy a capella group that performs their renditions of your favorite video game, anime, and movie music. Geekapella are no strangers to Orlando Overdrive, and they have also performed at conventions all over the east coast, including DragonCon, Anime Festival Orlando, MomoCon, Holiday Matsuri, and MegaCon. No matter where they play, Geekapella looks to bring fans an evening of fun and laughter.

Under Polaris Under Polaris is a duo that shares their love of video games and metal. These good brothers, Robert and Steven, have been playing music together and have worked hard to show that there is no idea too silly, and no song too heavy! Under Polaris has become one of Orlando’s favorite acts to see live, playing all over town with the likes of Powerglove, Professor Shyguy, and Peelander-Z. Under Polaris released their debut self-titled album last Summer. (Photo by Vikka Leoni)

dj-Jo dj-Jo is one of the world’s best anime and vgm remixers. You saw him tear it up at last year’s Power, Wisdom, and Courage and now he’s on Orlando Overdrive IV. dj-Jo has made his mark on the YouTube community with his hard hitting, melody driven arrangements of popular anime and video game franchises, including Legend of Zelda. His live shows are high-energy spectacles, where he performs his music on stage with his trusty keytar.

Mag.Lo Mag.Lo is an offbeat musical artist and producer that has become hip hop’s best kept secret. Since 2012, fans and newcomers have enjoyed Mag.Lo’s intricate flow and lyricism, high energy performances and off-kilter beats and compositions. Or something like that. Mag.Lo has been crushing stages all over and has been working on soundtracks for independent video games as well as his next album.

Marc With a C For nearly 20 years, Orlando-based indie pop singer-songwriter Marc With a C has devoted himself to making raw, lo-fi music about a hi-def world. Through countless original albums, EPs and live recordings, Marc With a C uses infectious melodies and salty language to tell the stories of a generation caught between the analog and digital worlds.
