   About The Retro Game Band

Welcome to The Retro Game Band's Myspace! We cover retro game tunes from the 80's and early 90's. Commodore 64, Spectrum, Master System, NES, Amiga, Atari ST, PC, Megadrive (Genesis), SNES; any games system before music became too realistic!

Early game music composers were extremely limited, often having access to only 4 channels of music, and severely limited by memory. Yet they were also totally free from technique and could truly concentrate on making the best of the little they had.

We pay homage to these early composers by turning their tunes into real-life rock, jazz, funk and metal renditions. We hope you enjoy!

When we start learning a new song, we usually transcribe it for future reference. Click here to check out the tabs we have transcribed!

dear friend, stranger, influence or acquaintance....

the industrial / rap / ambient / noise musical 'Tortoiseshell Male in... the Befuddling Mystery of the Moratorium', original cast recording, performed live at the Impotence Palladium, Whale Island, Pompeii, is now available for free download at the following address...

get the album here FREE

http://www. sendspace. com/file/qfbj62

based on the life of Horace Gengle Montgomery, a cat trapped in the body of an embittered 1940s genre detective, this album is the first episode of the continuing saga of his life's great works so far. or so i have been told to say. featuring the excellent acting talent of Pye Wackett, Josef Motley, Joe Black, Abe Normal, Mister Ostritch & the renowned Yasson - poached from up-and-coming UK acts such as swampglow, corroborree, myriad, more people and rusty sheriff & friends.

apologies for the shameless self promotion...
