ANAMANAGUCHI - Dawn Metropolis - 2009


Anamanaguchi is a chiptune punk band from New York City that "makes loud, fast music with a hacked NES from 1985."[1] The band has four members: lead songwriter Peter Berkman, bassist James DeVito, guitarist Ary Warnaar and drummer Luke Silas.[2] Akin to other chiptune artists, Anamanaguchi creates music using synthesizers, albeit unconventional ones: namely a hacked NES and Game Boy. However, unlike most chiptune bands, Anamanaguchi employs live electric guitar, bass and drums on top of said synthesized music to create a fusion of digital and traditional sounds. From a technical standpoint, their music resembles that of video games from the mid to late 1980s; however, Berkman states that video games are not the band's main inspiration, as their songwriting is mostly driven by "[s]imple pop stuff, like Weezer and the Beach Boys."[3]
