about
Dr. Wily & The Robot Masters was formed by Pete and Steph in late 2001, they were later joined by a very drunk and impressed drummer named Timaaahhhh! and was finally completed with the addition of a 2nd geektarist known as Fatty (also known in Japan as Godzilla). They are an Ottawa/Orleans based Nintendo music cover band, thats right, they play the music from the video games you used to play when you were a kid. Yes it's geeky, and yes, they love it. Almost as much as they like writing about themselves in the third person. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
why this is interesting
# Dr. Wily And The Robot Masters This ensemble merits attention for its thoughtful approach to video game music as a serious artistic medium. Rather than treating source material nostalgically, the band examines Nintendo compositions with genuine musicianship, translating 8-bit arrangements into layered, live instrumentation. Their work acknowledges how deeply these melodies shaped a generation's cultural memory while asking what these pieces reveal when performed with contemporary craft. The project raises interesting questions about authenticity, fandom, and whether beloved commercial music deserves reconsideration beyond its original context. For listeners curious about how popular culture artifacts gain new meaning through reinterpretation, their catalog offers genuine insight.
