Grand Buffet - Five years of fireworks (2005)

I really love these guys live show. It’s almost more of a stand up act like “flight of the condors” or something but with funny ass hip hop music. First time I accidentally saw these guys in Lakewood Ohio with Mc Chris. Jackson was doing some impression of Elvis.. I yelled some random derogatory remark and he called me a “fucking genius”… Long story short, Grand Buffet is absolutely amazing live... not like lights and pyrotechnics.. Just two dudes on stage acting like assholes… genuine talent… below is a quick wiki

Grand Buffet is a hip-hop duo from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, made up of Jackson O'Connell-Barlow (stage names: Iguanadon, Grape-a-Don, Plaps, Nate Kukla, and Mr. Pennsylvania) and Jarrod Weeks (stage names: M-Dog, Lord Grunge, Viceroy, Matt Kukla, Fred Durts). Their music is a unique brand of humorous, often satirical rap. They have toured several times with notable artists such as Gil Mantera's Party Dream, Sage Francis, Of Montreal, Cex, Sole, Magnolia Electric Co., Streetlight Manifesto, and the late Wesley Willis. They have also toured the USA and Europe extensively. In 2005 they finished a European tour with Sage Francis, and an American Tour with Of Montreal and MGMT in 2006. They toured with Girl Talk in 2008, and Third Eye Blind in 2009.
