Chiptune and 8-bit bands are nothing new. The sonic textures of early Nintendo and Sega Genesis games have inspired countless millennial musicians to approach the genre in numerous ways, cobbling together songs with crunchy lo-fi tones or reimagining classic video game soundtracks. Bit Brigade rearranges the iconic scores of games like Mega Man, while projecting a live playthrough of the title they’re covering. This week, they’re taking on The Legend of Zelda. Watch as their selected player guides the intrepid Link across the mystical land of Hyrule in order to save Princess Zelda. Super Soul Bros. and DJ Bit open the show.
