Super MadNES is a Los Angeles, CA live tribute to retro video games and traditional 80s heavy metal music, creating riff-oriented guitar & synth arrangements to classic NES, SNES and arcade soundtracks.

Since 2016, the band has released 3 full-length albums, built a strong following, toured throughout several states in the country, received press praise by major music magazines and newspapers such as Decibel Magazine, Los Angeles Daily News, OC Weekly, Orange County Register, and performed at major gaming events in the US such as Anime Expo, BitGen Gamer Fest, MAGwest, Retro City Festival, Replay FX, California Extreme, Game On Expo, and Arcade Expo to name a few.

Summers of 2018 and 2019 saw the band promoting their NES themed album “Gothic Warriors” with a successful run of headlining shows, gaming event performances, and tours on both the east and west coasts while performing the music from classic games such as Castlevania III, Batman, Double Dragon, Ninja Gaiden, and Megaman X along with an action fueled pixelated visual show.

In 2021, the band released a new album entitled “Fantasy Battles”. A Final Fantasy themed album paying tribute to battle themes from across the game series, as well as the the iconic hit “True Survivor” from the Kung Fury movie originally performed by David Hasselhoff.

Finally, Summer and Fall 2022 saw the band making a triumphant return to the live stage with tours on both the east and west coasts, festival appearances and headlining concerts. All with an upgraded stage and light show.
