MSNBC covers video game band The OneUps
MSNBC has been all about the game music lately, haven't they? Today they posted a feature on the video game cover band The OneUps, covering their recent performance at the 2007 Penny Arcade Expo. The feature talks about the seven-piece cover band's struggle for the last several years to land a big gig, and how they finally ended up PAX, playing a show for over 5,000 people.
The article also covers the band's beginnings, upcoming gigs, and plans to release future albums.
Read the full article "Making music out of Super Mario Bros" at MSNBC. [FD: Okay, you got me. I'm one of the OneUps. But, I'm a blogger, and there are no rules for bloggers! Forgive me, Dtoid readers -- I'm totally shameless! Destructoid's very own Nex already did a wonderful (and flattering) write-up of our band's performance, but I won't lie -- it's great to see the mainstream media cover my band.] Did you know?

I'm dismayed to say i never heard of the oneups til now but am glad to know about you guys now. Haha inside advertising, but hey its for a good cause. Congrats Dale, and to the rest of the band. Great to hear you guys are having a crazy time. Awesome to see The OneUps getting some exposure. I wish I could get a real CD of Time & Space. And, now that I've discovered its existence, Xenogears Light. But the web-based MP3 thingamajigs will have to do.
I love you guys. Seriously. Good thing I stopped by BEFORE everyone else heard you guys. Please make sure Mustin brings everyone back next year. I forgot to get my Very Best of Sega and Time & Space album's signed too. Also play Blaster Master. And Coast of the Sun.
