ON TOUR MAY 4th to MAY 24th 2012 for more info...www.ICE-ROD.com

Live footage from a 2 hour set Feb 11th 2012 at the Turf Club St Paul MN. ICE ROD (Michael Gaughan) sets up the stage to look like a dorm room (with "Bob Marley" and "Pulp Fiction" posters, a snowboard, etc) and uses a small inconspicuous microphone (*until it broke) sits on the bed, goes on the chat roulette website and free-style raps to the people on the computer. The whole show is improvised and one of the goals is to entertain the other person on the screen with a specialized rap for them. ICE ROD will lyrically describe visuals of that person, and also invites them to give a topic, engage in conversation, etc. The chat-partner is led to believe that ICE ROD is just a 22 year old kid in a dorm room, and they are having a private one on one rap session, while in reality it is a facade, set up in a crowded music venue, and the computer screen is projected so the crowd can see what the raps are referencing and also see / hear the chat-partner's reactions. Audience members are welcome to come on stage and act as "dorm neighbors, RA's etc." and sometimes the web cam is swiveled to reveal to the chat-partner that they are in fact in front of a crowd.

Conceived and performed by Michael Gaughan.
filmed by Tomas Aksamit and Dan Huiting. Edited by Tomas Aksamit.

Thank you to the good people at the Turf Club, thank you to Molly Schultz (for furnishing 140 long stem roses), Jarad Jensen, and Mallory Reed (for designing and organizing the photo booth live valentines day cards) Thanks to Freddy Votel, Jon Neilson, and Beth Ann McDowell for performing earlier in the night. Thank you to all the friends and people that came out that night. Thank you so much for your support.

    Great job, Michael, and very glad to see you are back/ still rapping. Very excellent concept, this dorm room thing. Funny! You're such a good impromptu rapper.
