Time to get your game on.
NYC-based chiptune rockers Anamanaguchi are about to make many gamers very happy. The quintet announced yesterday that for the first time ever they will be performing their beloved soundtrack to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game. As of publication only two dates have been announced, both in California. Anamanaguchi responded to a grumpy fan that more dates will be announced later on. Check out the tour’s poster below, with art done by Aaron Ancheta and Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley.
Tickets for the tour are available now on the band’s website.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game first came out in August 2010 digitally to the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and then was re-released earlier this year on numerous consoles such as the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Playstation 4, Stadia, and Amazon Luna . The game was a tie-in to the film adaptation of the popular Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series by Bryan Lee O’Malley. The film came out that same month and was released by Universal Pictures and directed by Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Last Night In Soho, The Sparks Brothers). Starring in the film were Michael Cera (Juno, Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Sausage Party), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Final Destination 3, Sky High), Anna Kendrick (Into The Woods, Pitch Perfect, Trolls), Chris Evans (Captain America: The First Avenger, Not Another Teen Movie, Snowpiercer), Brie Larson (Captain Marvel, Hoot, Kong: Skull Island), Aubrey Plaza (Child’s Play, Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates, Parks And Recreation), Brandon Routh (Dylan Dog: Dead Of Night, Superman Returns, Zack And Miri Make A Porno), Kieran Culkin (Father Of The Bride, Igby Goes Down, Margaret), Alison Pill (Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen, Hail, Caesar!, Milk), and Johnny Simmons (Hotel For Dogs, Jennifer’s Body, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower).
Anamanaguchi released their latest album [USA] in 2019 on Polyvinyl (Charlotte Cornfield, The Get Up Kids, Momma). The band spent 2020 dropping many singles (some featuring Planet 1999 and Jaime Brooks), as well as a cover of American Football’s “Stay Home” and a remix of Porter Robinson’s “Get Your Wish”.
