Title: Mini-Bosses
Post by: MattGSX on April 18, 2007, 12:25:27 PM

Please tell me someone else has heard Mini-Bosses. They're this bar band/cover band with some fairly talented musicians who decided it would be fun to start doing covers of video game music. They have done rock renditions of some awesome games like Contra, the Castlevania series, Metroid, and more.
My love of nerd culture and love of music just made some hot love and this is their wonderful lovechild. I know they've been out for a long time, but I just re-discovered them, and you should all too.

Wow... this is different than that Contra-Band.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=jnAGWo1V9ig (http://youtube.com/watch?v=jnAGWo1V9ig)  At 1st I thought they were one & the same.
Mario 2 in metal... holy fucking shit!!  Good find, mon.

I gots tons of video game music for piano... I've gotten much of the SMB2 stuff from pianothemes.com (http://pianothemes.com).  I indoctrinate kids w/it part time, for money!  Mwah-ha ha!

If you enjoy the minibosses then you'll totally dig all the music on the following site.http://dwellingofduels.com/all/ (http://dwellingofduels.com/all/) site

I recommend any of the castlevainia songs by goat. He might rock harder then DBK. ...maybe
