Octoroks
We're an Australian band that plays songs from video games.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
We originally were a NESkimos cover band, sort of formed because since we're in another country we could never see them ourselves, so why not pretend to be them. We evolved from that, and an idea a while ago that dpad and banjo had of making an Ocarina of Time Medley.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes.
