Hey there,
Mainly just for kicks we've started up a new band called Boss Fight in Brisbane. We do video game music of any era and any platform (we select what on the basis of what we think will sound good).

Here's a video from a rehearsal we had a couple of nights back. We have a heap of material already, but we take requests so let us know :)

Sounds good. Can I request a cover of the pitfall 2 music from atari 2600? I've not heard it covered before but it's an awesome tune.
edit for youtube link to music:

Oh I know Pitfall :) He he he. Might as well put em all down here, and we'll do as many as we can. They take a little while to transcribe/arrange.

:) Cheers.

BTW if any of you are interested, "like" our FB page (we just made it last night so it's not very popular just yet :) :) ).

If you do we'll keep you updated on when/where we're playing and vids we put on Youtube.

Fast, heavy with tricky keyboard lines is pretty much what we do :) Man that middle bit kicks butt.

Keep the suggetions up thanks guys :) I'm going to send the other members of the band to this thread so they can be in on this :)

The thing about games music is it just had to *work*. We're having so much fun playing these really solid tunes.

The Metal Gear Solid 2 theme is one of my favourite pieces of game music.



And the Battlefield theme, swap out the horns for an electric guitar and rock that shit



And of course, Doom e1m1

Would definitely like to but they're so small.... we'd hardly fit everything in. We have contacts there but, so we may do anyway.
