The Sparkman Single!

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:51:22 -0700

Just in time for the summer con circuit (Comic-Concert in San Diego and Bit Gen 5 in Baltimore are coming right up) - we are playing NEW songs! Selling NEW (awesome) shirts! And most importantly - a NEW CD! It's not the MM3 full length we know you guys have been waiting for (though we've been progressing nicely on that), but it's the next best thing!

Remember when bands used to release singles with cool b-sides not available anywhere else? Well, that's what we've decided to release as a nice preview of the upcoming Megaman 3 album!

The tracklist includes:

You've Sparked A War (Sparkman)
You've Sparked A Coustic (Acoustic Sparkman)
Super Fighting Robot (Megaman cartoon theme)
Sunglasses at Night (our first non-Megaman cover)
and Lights Out (Instrumental Sparkman for all you remixers and fans of vocal-less VG covers!)

And pick up one of the new protoskull shirts while you’re at it!

Get Acoustic.

Thu, 4 Feb 2010 21:28:02 -0800

Get Acoustic, the acoustic remix of our Get Equipped album, is out NOW!

What started as the recording of one track just for a fun recording project/something to give the forum fans has turned into an entirely new album!

Get Acoustic is a track for track remix of the Get Equipped album, done with acoustic instruments... but there’s a twist! We are accompanied on the album by the Monsteropolis orchestra (programmed by Eric) to give it a new layer of epicosity.

This is a digital only release. Go check out the new and improved Megas store, which allows you to download your copy as soon as you make your payment, and has been expanded to allow payment not only through Paypal, but also with Google Checkout!

If you'd like to check out a sample, head over to facebook.com/themegas or myspace.com/themegas and check out the acoustic version of Promise of Redemption!

Now back in the studio to work on the followup... MM3 awaits.

The Megas are coming to MAGfest 8!

Thu, 3 Dec 2009 10:45:05 -0800

That’s right - the holidays are here again... time for Christmas, New Years, and MAGfest!

We’re going to be rocking MAGfest for the second time this year - and it sounds like it’s gonna be better than ever. 3 nights of epic video game concerts, a 24-hour Jamspace for impromptu rocking, a ridiculously huge gaming room with tournaments, live speed runs, and tons of arcade machines, movies, cartoons, panels with industry greats like Sid Meier and more!

Go check out the current band line-up here - http://magfest.org/bands - it’s going to be an insanely fun weekend. Rooms are booking up fast, so head over to http://magfest.org/getaroom and handle that. And if you can’t afford a room, show up anyway... chances are, you’ll find somebody with floor space open - but who needs sleep, anyway!?

MAGfest runs January 1-4, 2010, with an excellent New Years party on the night of the 31st if you show up early! It all goes down at the Hilton Mark Center in Alexandria, VA. Go get yourself registered at MAGfest.org and we’ll see you there!

The Megas at GameX in Philly!

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:20:26 -0700

It seems like just days have passed since our excellent Revenge of The Megas tour, but already we have another east coast assault on the books! We have been invited to perform at GameX in Philadelphia, which runs from October 23-25. We are playing on Saturday, October 24th, at 5:30pm, followed by the OneUps! Also performing at the expo are Armcannon, Rare Candy, Fenix Down, and more to be announced!

The music is brought to you by the people who put together MAGfest, so big thanks to them (especially Dom) for bringing us out. They will also be having chiptune concerts and Jamspace, so it should be a very MAGfest-like experience all around!

Anyhow, head over to gamexpo.us to get all the details - sounds like it will be a fun weekend!

The Megatainment EP is HERE!

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 12:26:56 -0700

New music is finally here! We just released Megatainment, a collaboration with our good friends Entertainment System!

The idea was born this time last year, when we embarked on the first Megatainment tour - basically they kept hassling us about not planning to do the MM1 soundtrack, so we said "write and record all the music and we'll do vocals..." and that's exactly what happened!

We're really excited about how this turned out - Entertainment System brings a different, heavier sound than what we play, so it was a fun challenge to come up with melodies and lyrics! Story-wise, this fits in as a nice prequel to Get Equipped.

Check out the Elecman track on our facebook page, then head over to the store and pick up a copy - they're only $5! We're selling hard copies for a limited time - make sure to order soon if you want to get one.
