Bit Brigade

Bit Brigade performs rock covers of full SNES/NES game soundtracks as their gamer speed runs the game live on stage. When was the last time you attended a live music performance with a genuine element of risk involved? And no, going to a Gwar show with a white t-shirt on doesn't count. When Bit Brigade takes the stage, your mind will frantically oscillate between "Oh! Agh!! Please don't die!!" and "YES! He's doing it!!" Combining the dread and daring of a live video game speed run with the spot-on technique of a live band covering the musical accompaniment to everything you're seeing on-screen in real time, Bit Brigade will have you swinging between the two mediums. From thrashing about to live renditions of your favorite stage themes, fingers yearning to the sky in a rock 'n roll parody of sea anemones seeming to silently plead, “The word “play” is probably an understatement - these guys shred through the games as expertly as the band wails on their instruments.” -Nintendo Power (11/2006) www.bitbrigade.net bitbrigade.bandcamp.com www.facebook.com/bitbrigade Do a Barrel Roll!
