Time for another monthly episode of “On Stage Now”, a special podcast episode in which I feature the work of a musician’s covers and remixes.
Our guest for this month is Super MadNES, a tribute band from Southern California that plays covers of video game music in the style of 80s heavy metal. Consisting of four members (Nico Saavedra, Ryan Iyengar, Ryan Bradley, and Josh Seguin), these guys jam on the drums, shred their guitars, and smash the keys with fierce determination. Their shows are a sight to see, playing familiar tunes with head-banging, foot-stomping riffs and melodies.
Prepare to be blown away by the awesome performance that is Super MadNES!
