I Fight Dragons slays Rock Band Network, NES style

My name is Miguel from New York, and I fight dragons.
That’s right, the world’s finest (and possibly only) NES-Rock band — I Fight Dragons — is coming soon to Rock Band Network.
Metromix Chicago’s Best New Band of 2009 thrives on the nostalgia of the synthesized beeping and booping so familiar to everyone who ever owned a NES or Game Boy. IFD isn’t your typical chiptunes outfit, though… they are a bona-fide rock band who happen to be as proficient with real instruments as they are with game controllers.
Still, take one look at the band lineup on their MySpace page:
Brian Mazzaferri – Lead Vocals, Guitar, NES
Packy Lundholm – Vocals, Guitar, NES, SNES
Hari Rao – Bass, NES
Chad Van Dahm – Drums, NES
Laura Green – Vocals, NES, SNES, Power Pad, Power Glove
Bill Prokopow – NES, NES Advantage, NES Zapper, Keyboards, Laptop, Vicky the Computer Voice
Power Glove? NES Zapper? Best. Lineup. Ever.
IFD is partnering with RockGamer Studios to bring you a track from their album Cool Is Just a Number.
“No One Likes Superman Anymore” is the tragic tale of how we stop believing in pure, noble, simple heroes, such as The Man of Steel.
“We’re really proud to announce we’ve worked out a deal with RockGamer Studios,” says JJ Italiano, a manager so awesome that he built this NES/SNES cabinet. “They’re providing us with quality content for the Rock Band Network, and administratively have been accommodating and fair.”
Accommodating and fair. I think we have a new slogan.

Before I listened to them, I thought their music would be really gimmicky and well, bad. But surprisingly, they’re actually really good. Also, their “Why Bother” Weezer cover on the band’s myspace page is amazing.
