Death Mountain / Dungeon Reprise - Bit Brigade

When Bit Brigade rolls into town, the gamer elite hang up the controller for the evening and see a rock show. With unprecedented attention to detail and post-rock bombast, Bit Brigade meticulously replicates every musical cue, cutscene and boss battle in perfect syncronization with master gamer Noah McCarthy's inspiring speed-trial run of each level. Composed of members of roadwarrior (both stateside and abroad) mathrock bands Cinemechanica and We Versus The Shark, Bit Brigade elevates game music to its proper place in the foreground of epic technical rock and plays the games like they don't need the extra lives. Which, for the record, they don't.

The band has performed the soundtrack to Nintendo games Contra (as Contraband), Megaman 2 (as Megaband), and Ninja Gaiden (as Ninja Band), while a gamer will attempt to defeat the game live.
