MATT DRISCOLL: TODAY’S VIBE >>>
Most of us also have Nintendo game music subconsciously lodged in the recesses of our brains, just waiting to be tapped into. There’s just no way spending an entire summer playing Ninja Gaiden and drinking Kool Aid doesn’t have that sort of effect.
For this reason, the Skull Kid â€" who will play Bob’s Java Jive tonight â€" just might be the most brilliant band ever. Probably not, of course â€" but they might be close. A band dedicated to flawless renditions of classic video game themes, the Skull Kid are like a grin-inspiring blast from your childhood â€" only this time around you can sip a beer inside the Java Jive and enjoy it. Myspace.com/nintendocovers gives you a sampling of their work, showing the band’s ability to lay down everything from the Super Mario 3 theme to music from Dragon Warrior.
According to gaming.wikia.com, Skull Kid “are a race of people/monsters from the Legend of Zelda series. They first appeared in Ocarina of Time, but the Skull Kid commonly referred to as the Skull Kid is most remembered for his role as the main villain in Majora’s Mask.â€
That’s only part of the story.
Skull Kid are also a creative, if not slightly nerdy, highlight of this weekend. If you’re a child of the ’80s, the Skull Kid just might strike a chord. If nothing else, they’re worth a shot.
