Description
The tinny chiptune melodies from classic '80s and '90s console games are lodged deep in the hive mind of the Super Soul Bros. The local jazz-funk fusion band base most of their tunes on these looping riffs, taking them far beyond their crudely rendered original locales. Just in time for FanimeCon, keyboardist Robbie Benson and guitarist Brian Sheu lead their talented crew through boisterous instrumentals that will chew on a theme like "Chemical Plant Zone" from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for 10-plus minutes, giving space for warbly organ, peppy sax and blistering electric guitar. They play Friday and Saturday at Stritch.
