BAND WE LIKE: BAT HOUSE ((space-y math rock))
((Anamanaguchi)) Band Profile and Upcoming Chicago Concerts - Oh My Rockness
Anamanaguchi
NYC's Anamanaguchi is an insanely fun band that rocks out using two guitars, one bass, one drum kit and... hey drummer, give me a roll please... an old manipulated Nintendo. Guitarist/Programmer Peter Berkman hacks into an original Nintendo and manipulates its sound chip to create, along with Ary Warnaar and James DeVito, some of the catchiest and most delightful rock-outs you'll hear.
The music Anamanaguchi creates is not really meant to be a whimsical nod to our video game playing youth. First and foremost, they're about rocking you out, but they're also part of a larger experiment to make a big sound that rises above the limitations of the out-dated and limiting hardware the band uses.
The group is part of a growing collective called 8bitpeoples that shares this similar ideology about video games, technology and rock. You should really see this band live. They can do some crazy things.
