Was the guitar solo last time a bit much? That's ok, we've got a palette cleanser, a smooth and funky bass solo from Sam on our track Rabite Season! From our concert at the Gowanus Dredgers in NYC. #vgm #fusion #funk #bass #basssolosarecoolandfun #bobboyappreciation

Have you been jonesing for more guitar since our last behind the scenes video? Here's a clip of Pete's screamin' solo from our track RAID, performed at Songbyrd Music House in Washington, D.C. earlier this year! #vgm #fusion #guitar #crosscode #kirkhammett

@discocact.us actually had an Expedition 33 double; there was one track last week, but the group also brought in all the emotive feels through this take on Alicia's theme: discocactusmusic.bandcamp.com/track/alicia... #SEGAMixerDrive

Flyer for the STAGE CLEAR IV event. Pixelated art depicts a cute-yet-Kaiju-sized Dinosaur playing a burning guitar, towering over a bridge next to an also-very-large-but-cute anthropomorphic cactus creature. Flyer advertises this as "Philly's Vixdeo Game Music and Chiptune Mini-Fest", then lists the performers and visualists that I mentioned in my post, as well as the fact that there will be Indie Games and a Super Smash Bros Melee Tournament hosted by Level1 with a Cash Prize.

We'll still play unconventional spaces, though. Anyone got any leads on any other kinds of garages we could play at?

DiscoCactus @discocact.us · 18/09/2026

Back in May, we played at the Gowanus Dredgers boat house after needing to move indoors due to weather conditions. It was definitely an unconventional performance space for a band like us, but it ended up sounding really cool in there! Here's us performing A Forest Interlude from that concert.

How nice it would be to hear our latest tracks from Clair Obscur on all streaming platforms... we're aware it's not up anywhere else yet, and have been working on fixing it. Chris is here to explain where you can find them in the meantime! #vgm #fusion #clairobscurexpedition33 #BandcampFriday

The process of a Discocactus arrangement is wildly varied between all of us; luckily for you, we love talking about it! Laura talks more about inspiration, structure, and what it was like to work with our collaborators on our newest track, Une Vie a T'aimer!

0154

DiscoCactus @discocact.us · 21/08/2026

We heard from some VIP (Very Important Pfans) that there's more interest in some behind-the-scenes footage of our arrangements. Well, to kick that off, we have our arranger Laura and our resident low end expert Sam to talk about the inspiration for Alicia!

Have you heard our newest tracks from Clair Obscur yet? Our lucky fans who went to VGMCon earlier this year got to hear them before we even thought "hey wait let's record this one lol." Here's our performance with guest stars Annie Rosen (@heartbreak.one) and Joe Zieja (@joezieja.bsky.social)

That's right, a taste of your OWN MEDICINE. Last but certainly not least, Ben shows us that even his own arrangement can twist up his fingers! #vgm #fusion #progrock #skiesofarcadia #piano

Drums just have to play 4/4, right? Chris explains how he does, and does not, have to do both and not do both at the same time in Cave Rave! #vgm #fusion #progrock #skiesofarcadia #chris

Next up in our series of Cave Rave Vignettes is Slammin’ Sam Bobinski to talk about the toughest part of the piece for him, playing the biggest instrument* in the band! *so far, we might get a contrabass saxophone at some point #vgm #fusion #bass #skiesofarcadia #sam

Cave Rave is one of our favorite pieces to play: our wonderful keyboardist and arranger Ben Wallace transformed a less-than-a-minute long cave theme from Skies of Arcadia and transformed it into a 9-minute prog rock masterpiece/nightmare. Here's a part of our performance of it at this year's VGMCon!

Lyrics for this were originally written for the version of this tune called "Lover Reef," by D-Lux, Geoffrey Taucer, Jillian Aversa, Shonen Samurai, and zircon on OCRemix. Go check out their classic version as well!

During the DK Rap on our last stream show, Ben detailed some notes for us about "style" and "grace". I think we all learned something that day. #videogamemusic #donkeykong #twitch

Definitely lied about not going on stage, sorry. Incredibly humbled to be asked to sing with Disco Cactus on stage at VGM Con in their new Expedition 33 arrangement. Words cannot describe how it felt. #VGMCon #voiceacting #expedition33 #gaming #anime

My friends and I have decided that @discocactus.bsky.social is "Holy Shit: The Band" because we've spent this set saying holy shit about every member of the band, like seriously I didn't think anyone could be better at music but then they all went and got better
