Bit Brigade performs rock covers of full NES game soundtracks as their gamer speed runs the game live on stage with guest Shane Steward.
Bit Brigade
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 favourite 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).
Shane Steward
Shane Steward is a seasoned musician of 15 years from Canada. Shane first became fascinated with music, when he heard the scores of Danny Elfman and John Williams, at the tender age of six. Since then, he has written and performed music with both bands and as a solo musician and is currently working on a metal musical for future release.
