Showbiz Pizza Band

It's weird. I was just talking about how the band from Showbiz Pizza was so much better than the one from Chuck E. Cheese's.

And now there is a movie about it!

Here's the trailer:




I was watching an interview on Carson Daly with a man who named Chris Thrash who, after purchasing the Showbiz Pizza Rock-afire Explosion Band, taught himself to program the animatronic band to lip-sync and play in time (complete with instrument solos) to current songs. By doing so he became an enormous sensation on YouTube.

You can watch the entire interview here:




The band MGMT recently asked Chris to program one of their songs for a video. On behalf of KNAPSACKHEROES! I am quite jealous. You can check out the MGMT video here. And there are more videos here.

If you're not a child of the 80s you may not be as excited about this as I am but I figured it's interesting anyway.
