Put down your game consuls and turn up your headphones.
Meet Anamanaguchi, whose 8Bit tunes are not your average Smash Brothers theme song. The band's claim to fame, according to their website, is playing "loud, fast music using hacked hardware," predominantly from the NES (the 1980s Nintendo Entertainment System). Formed by New Yorkers Peter Berkman, James DeVito, Luke Silas, and Ary Warnaar, Anamanaguchi's sound is a red-blooded and curiously melodic mash up of guitars and electronic tones (think the Cure on speed meets Mario and Luigi). Check them out online, on their website or myspace, or at their upcoming show this Saturday in Brooklyn.
