by I think I might have found that for which hundreds have sought and failed: the nerdiest band ever. Yes, contrary to popular belief, they exist ... and they are still together. Who are these nerds and where should I have their name tattooed, you ask? They're "The Advantage" and your left knee pit will do just fine.
Yes, this band is named after the NES Advantage. Yes, they play only covers of songs from Nintendo games. Yes, they are actually musically talented. Yes, their first album features songs from great game classics such as Castlevania, Bubble Bobble, Marble Madness, Double Dragon, and Wizards and Warriors. Yes, their second album has even more Nintendo awesomeness, including songs from Contra, Metroid, Ducktails and Air Fortress.
No, I don't think you can come up with a nerdier band. Ever.

It's all come full circle:
Electronic video game music---> Video games using 'real' previously recorded music---> Real musicians covering the electronic video game music.
Castlevania 3 is my favorite rendition.
I hope it's not bad 'nintentions' to say it, but-- that is the worst looking website ever.

Agreed. I wonder if it's somehow connected with the Nintendo theme...
and they have a much less ugly website.
