Calendar Pick: Bit Brigade

Nostalgic for cult classic video games of the ‘80s and ‘90s, local band Bit Brigade brings these iconic soundtracks to the stage with its energetic live performances. Since its members dreamed up the concept of the band nearly 20 years ago, its discography has grown to include complex rock revamps of soundtracks ranging from “DuckTales” to “Metroid.” Bit Brigade’s Athens show will feature the music of “The Legend of Zelda” and “Castlevania,” as well as the band’s signature touch: Video game player Noah McCarthy will take the stage to up the intensity by speedrunning the games as the band performs. There will also be a performance by Lazer/Wulf, an experimental metal band from Atlanta that folds elements of jazz and math rock into its music.

WHO: Bit Brigade, Lazer/Wulf
WHEN: Friday, Jan. 26, 7 p.m. (doors)
WHERE: Georgia Theatre
HOW MUCH: $20
