Bit Brigade à la Casa del Popolo

Tue 21 Mar 2023 • 08:00 pm Rock
Casa del Popolo - Montréal 23.08$
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

La Bit Brigade interprète des reprises rock de bandes originales de jeux NES, tandis que son joueur exécute le jeu en direct sur scène.

“À quand remonte la dernière fois où vous avez assisté à un spectacle de musique en direct avec un véritable élément de risque ? Et non, aller à un concert de Gwar avec un t-shirt blanc ne compte pas. Lorsque Bit Brigade montera sur scène, votre esprit oscillera frénétiquement entre “Oh ! Agh !! S’il vous plaît, ne mourez pas ! !!” et “OUI ! Il le fait ! !!”. Combinant l’effroi et l’audace d’un speed run de jeu vidéo en direct avec la technique impeccable d’un groupe de musique qui accompagne en temps réel tout ce que vous voyez à l’écran, Bit Brigade vous fera osciller entre les deux médias. Vous pourrez vous trémousser sur les interprétations en direct de vos thèmes de scène préférés, lever les doigts vers le ciel dans une parodie rock’n roll des anémones de mer qui semblent implorer silencieusement “S’il vous plaît, donnez-nous plus de pyrotechnie sur les frettes”, ou encore vous laisser enfermer dans un ravissement immobile pendant que l’infaillible maître du d-pad, Noah McCarthy, affronte le boss final et risque sa vie de joueur de jeu vidéo sous la menace d’un intense mépris de la part de ses pairs (ou la récompense d’une nuit de gloire et d’un score au générique). Quelle que soit l’issue, la Bit Brigade doit continuer à jouer jusqu’à ce que l’acte soit accompli – ce qui est toujours le cas – au premier (et au dernier) essai. Une fois que la NES de Noah s’est mise en marche, il n’y a plus de retour en arrière possible.

-Metalhead Mike of The Shizz, été 2011

Bit Brigade performs rock covers of full NES game soundtracks as their gamer speedruns the game live on stage.

“When was the last time you attended a live music performance with a genuine element of risk involved? And no, going to a Gwar show with a white t-shirt on doesn’t count. When Bit Brigade takes the stage your mind will frantically oscillate between “Oh! Agh!! Please don’t die!!” and “YES! He’s doing it!!” Combining the dread and daring of a live video game speed run with the spot-on technique of a live band covering the musical accompaniment to everything you’re seeing on-screen in real time, Bit Brigade will have you swinging between the two mediums. From thrashing about to live renditions of your favorite stage themes, fingers yearning to the sky in a rock ‘n roll parody of sea anemones seeming to silently plead, “Please, feed us more fretboard pyrotechnics!,” to being locked in stock-still rapture as the infallible maestro of the d-pad, Noah McCarthy, takes on the final boss and risks his video game life under the threat of intense peer scorn (or the reward of night-long glory and a credits score). No matter the outcome, Bit Brigade must play on until the deed is done – which it always is – on the first (and last) try. Once Noah’s NES buzzes on, there’s no turning back.”

-Metalhead Mike of The Shizz, summer 2011
