Meet Gameboyzzz, Handheld Music Nonstop

You could call Gameboyzzz Orchestra Project an art experiment. You can simply call it a band. More precisely, you can call them an electronic music ensemble from Poland. And while that's enough to qualify them as "unusual" in the global scheme of things, they are not the only collection of digital musicans to produce beats and bleeps in the former East European nation that brought us Kilbasa and a recent Pope.

No, what set Gameboyzzz apart and makes the group truly unique in this world is their chosen musical instrument. It's that very finest of gaming handhelds dreamed up many years ago by visionary otaku in Kyoto, Japan. Gameboyzzz make music using the Nintendo Gameboy. Or, rather, a collection of Gameboys. The group's musical output is something akin to Kraftwerk, but minimalist and stripped down to a Super Mario sonic palette.

Check out their site via the link below. Once there you can download MP3s of recent live performances and watch video of some TV appearances in Europe.
