  • Bio

    Ever wanted to hear your favorite video game tunes performed by a live band? Los Angeles-based TANUKI SUIT RIOT doesn’t just cover video game tunes, they jam them like you’ve never heard them before! From funk, jazz, rock, even salsa, the Riot infuse every possible style into their musical onslaught of hip and hilarious covers of classics from Mario Brothers to Cowboy Bebop, to toe-tapping J-Pop hits. Never played Zelda or swooned to the Sailor Moon theme? The versatility of these nerd masters will convert even the most jaded snobs to the joys of videogame-core, where the best of Prince, Bowie, and Michael Jackson compete with a riff from Donkey Kong, and Mozart meets Sonic the Hedgehog head on. The Riot can be seen playing at outdoor events, festivals, bars, and conventions near you. ..Megaman Cowboy Bebop...... .. .. .. .. .. ..

    I'm looking for bands to play at The Blue Cafe(s) for every night of the week and select saturdays at the Puka Bar in Long Beach. You can refer to my booking blogs for what is available or send over a message of what sounds good and I can shoot over some dates for you.
    Hope to hear from you soon
