I Fight Dragons Live @ The Elbo Room - CD Release Show 2/6/09

I Fight Dragons, Chicago's Finest NES-Rock band, plays songs from our debut EP "Cool Is Just A Number" at our CD Release Show at the Elbo Room in Chicago, 2/6/09. All NES and SNES controllers (and the Power Pad) are being used to play sounds in real time. For a limited time, you can download our EP for free at http://www.ifightdragons.com, and you can check out our live show calendar on our myspace (www.myspace.com/ifightdragons)

TO CLARIFY (since people have asked :): the controllers and power pad are all being used to control synths and samples in real time, they are not props, they are instruments!
