Bit Brigade Performs “Super Mario World” + “F-Zero” LIVE

Bit Brigade is… well it’s hard to describe. They are a band who performs rock covers of full NES game soundtracks as their gamer – an integral part of the band – speedruns the game live on stage.

DLMC is excited to bring this unique musical gaming experience to town Tuesday, March 18. Doors at 7pm, Music at 8pm at Davis Odd Fellows Hall, 415 2nd Street, Davis, CA 95616. Tickets are available here!

“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,
“Please, feed us more fretboard pyrotechnics!,” to being locked in stock-still rapture as the infallible maestro of the d-pad, Noah McCarthy, takes on the final boss and risks his video game life under the threat of intense peer scorn (or the reward of night-long glory and a credits score). No matter the outcome, Bit Brigade must play on until the deed is done – which it always is – on the first (and last) try. Once Noah’s NES buzzes on, there’s no turning back.” – Metalhead Mike of The Shizz, summer 2011

Doesn’t sound like your thing? Then you don’t enjoy excellent live music where performance is EVERYTHING and it’s different every time!
