Laromlab plays tonight at Motion Lab

If you're of a certain age, you can sing the Super Mario Brothers and/or Zelda theme songs on command. So, it's no surprise that musician Laromlab (a.k.a. Brandon Harrod) has turned to chiptunes to craft his blippy, "chasing a mushroom on level three" compositions. What are chiptunes? They're songs composed in a format whereby all the sounds are synthesized in real time by a computer or video game console sound chip, instead of a sample-based synthesis. Check him out tonight at Motion Lab, where he is likely to break out his chiptune versions of Daft Punk classics such as "Around the World." It sounds like the Super Mario Brothers commanding the decks at Paris' Respect. Stream his upcoming self-titled album here.
