Swedesplease

Swedesplease


Nestunes - Swedish Nintendo music cover band…yep!

I’ve written about my fair share of c64 style bliptunes and I like the genre but usually it’s propagated by solo artists with a laptop. So I was pleasantly surprised (and a little creeped out) when I came across the Swedish band Nestunes. They play actual instruments, create arrangements, perform live in costumes, and are generally a bunch of wacky swedes. But they are pretty serious about their music, which is a blend of prog rock and 8bit with a little loungy jazz thrown in.

Here are a couple songs from an upcoming album. Of course this is a Swedesplease exclusive - how could it not be, right?
