Old-school button-mashers and new-gen emulator kids alike can get behind Bit Brigade, musical purveyors of driving NES game soundtrack covers. They’ve powered up 8-bit classics into rockin’ renditions for more than 10 years, and they’re marching into town to boost your HP with full versions of “The Legend of Zelda” and “Castlevania.” The concert doubles as a live-scoring event because while the band shreds on stage, their designated gamer speedruns each retro title live—to the delight and stress of audience members.
Thursday 8/8. $17–20, 8pm. The Southern Café and Music Hall, 103 S. First St. thesoutherncville.com
