Back in high school, I played in a band. We played some shows around Erie, usually at bars. It was a lot of fun…well maybe not the time we got jumped by a bum outside the old Rathskeller on State St., but I digress.

It should come as no surprise that since I like playing the guitar (when I can) as well as playing video games, I really enjoy the new breed of video games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band, where you pretend to be playing the guitar. It’s fun.

These guys get that – and took the trend of playing these virtual music games to the next level – they hauled their video game controllers shaped like instruments to Presque Isle last week during the heat wave and shot a music video for a song they didn’t write.

Nicely done, lads.
