Anamanaguchi is buzzing right now because they contributed to the soundtrack for the Scott Pilgrim video game.  I can’t really describe how much I like their music, both in concept and in practice. The sound chip in the NES is one of my favourite sounds ever;  even with a modern band combining it perfectly with drums and guitar, it still takes me right back to those good ol’ halcyon days when I was an indestructible little kid.

But now I’m a grown up indestructible man with a blog, and I’ve got to show you THIS:

Anamanaguchi – Airbrushed (acoustic, live in Toronto)

Anamanaguchi | A Take Away Show | Airbrushed from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

The band switches up their electric guitars for acoustics here for a La Blogotheque take-away show, during NxNE in Toronto. A random guy charges out of the door early on in the video and seems to be caught off guard by a live band performing right outside. Anamanaguchi drops BOMBS, and you can listen to Dawn Metropolis, their latest album, HERE.
