Hmm, I don't know if I'm supposed to give away our set list at this point, but I'll say which systems each song was from. Two songs from NES games. Three songs from PC games (one of them went multiplatform later). One N64 game. One GameBoy game. One DS game. And one SNES game. If somebody records us and puts it on YouTube, I'll be sure to link it here. |

I still find it hard to believe myself. When Careless first started talking to me about playing a live show, I just sort of disregarded it. I was like "Uhh, there are only two of us, so we can't exactly do a live show." But then he somehow managed to round up a bunch of other musicians he knew to play live with us. For example, Descendants of Erdrick's former drummer and bass player are playing with us, and their former flute player may join us for a song or two as well. In case you've never heard of Descendants of Erdrick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alqrsaFFu0k You should definitely try to make it if you can. Aside from the big bands that everybody knows, The Returners are going to be there, and they do some pretty sweet game covers, like these: FFVI medley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyWbf_P1Moo A Link to the Past: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zt6p_ZaFZM Anyway, if you do end up making it, I think we're playing Saturday early morning. This is our first (and maybe only) performance ever, so they're putting us early in the day. |
That's so tight man. I know

That's so tight man. I know of Descendants of Erdrick. I've actually been sort of following that Spectrum of Mana album they're on and I saw that dude Careless on there as well. I actually might be able to make it. I'll talk to my friend about tickets and all that jazz. |
I guess my friend isn't

Rehearsal recording.

Videos of us playing haven't popped up yet, but we do have this audio recording from our rehearsal session the day before we played: https://www.dropbox.com/s/kv6gh3lqxe9gw8c/8.%20Prof.%20Layton%20and%20th... Unfortunately, we kind of botched the Layton song live due to not being able to hear cues from each other on stage. I guess I should also plug the kickstarter that Careless started. It's mainly just to get some high quality live drums recorded: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/randomencounter/careless-juja-video-... |
Game of Thrones rehearsal video.

I still haven't seen any videos of us actually performing pop up, but I made this guitar syncing video of our rehearsal audio recording of the Game of Thrones theme. The end of the video has a picture of us all on stage at least. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXFJGNbSVjk *edit* Careless basically made the same type of video out of our Professor Layton rehearsal, but he recorded accordion on top of it, which really helps since accordion plays a lot of lead in that song: |
The video of our performance

The video of our performance finally popped up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyMLG7b11ZM Unfortunately, we really messed up the Professor Layton song live. And I had a pretty embarrassingly bad start on Bloody Tears. There were some other annoying mess ups in Warcraft, Game of Thrones, and probably some other songs as well. We only got to practice once the day before, and it was pretty hard to hear each other on stage. My previous post has recordings of Professor Layton and Game of Thrones from our practice session that we didn't mess up horribly. |

To any of that you live in Florida and can get to Orlando, you should come to Nerdapalooza. I'll be performing in the Careless Juja Live Band that Careless managed to put together. It will consist of drums, bass, accordion, glockenspiel, 2 piano players, 2 electric guitars, and possibly a few guests for certain songs. I believe we're playing 9 video game cover songs and 1 tv show theme cover.
Nerdapalooza goes from October 18th-20th.
Check out the bands that will be there: http://nerdapalooza.org
