Not only is the result worthy of solid head banging, it’s been transcribed so carefully and accurately that your favorite characters just couldn’t resist making their way over to this side of the TV screen to play their arsenal of songs and mini-games with you.

Professor Shyguy’s music can be best described as; high energy, chiptune-electro-rocking, 8-bit, epically vocalized, highly danceable, theatrical nerd-pop. With Jonna doing visuals while on stage he sings 50% about video games and the other 50% is anything from Space/Time to English Language gymnastics. He is recently known as the singer for Starring Star on the Funimation dub of Dragon Ball Super. He has a new album out featuring guests such as Matt Mercer, Ashly Burch, Pyschostick, and more! You might have also heard him on Kumail Nanjiani and Emily Gordon’s Podcast ‘the Indoor Kids’ or the Diamond Club podcast. He has also made theme songs for GuudeBoulderfist, This Week in Chiptune, PortsCenter, and more!

Specialists is a funk rock band based in NYC, formed in Upstate New York in 2017. The group is led by songwriters Billy Harden (guitar) and Mikey Rotunno (bass). Their dance-driven funk rock sound is highlighted by the duo’s split lead vocal duties.
Harden and Rotunno went through several lineup changes before solidifying their current lineup: Christian Hickey on drums, and Pete “Keys” Harden on keyboards. This has been the consistent personnel for over two years, earning the group some notable performance credits such as a Southeast US Tour in January of 2022 and a spot on the Criminal Records Stage at Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta GA in October of 2021- the group’s major festival debut.
Their summer performance schedule will coincide with the release of their upcoming full-length record, the band’s fourth release. The sound of their new record will get listeners on their feet thanks to irresistible groove, crafty arrangement, witty lyrics, and catchy hooks. Their summer performance schedule kicks off July 1st at Brooklyn Made in Bushwick, NY.
