LoL!!! Dude that name "Tech Nickel" had me cracking up when I first saw it, but yeah, "usually" the locals that opens up for the Tech show's sucks. I never remember what they sound like nor do I ever bobb my head because it's not worth wasting the energy, just save it for Tech's appearance... I guess they gotta start somewhere...
Vertigo alway's get's me pumped. They are pretty good to have so many different styles in one and they know how to coordinate their shit. Their beats always get me going. That is what I am listening to now. Can't wait for their album to drop cause a lot of hard work has been put into it.
Hobo... I haven't been able to hear him live. I dunno what to say, but I think that he'd be pretty good. He reminds me of Vell Bakardy style wise...
