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
Matheus talks about more of the intricacies of playing the violin - and the importance of regular exercise! #vgm #fusion #violin #skiesofarcadia #powersquats
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
EWI is already difficult enough! Why do we do this to ourselves! Laura masterfully explains the intricacies of her instrument and why it's so important to know them for Cave Rave! #vgm #fusion #ewi #skiesofarcadia #laura
Allow us to Rave a bit about Cave Rave! Here's Doug talking about the part of the piece that's most challenging for him. #vgm #fusion #progrock #skiesofarcadia #vibraphone #whatisthataxylophoneorsomething
Sam has an important message to show love to our fans who always request Cave Rave on our streams! :) #vgm #fusion #twitch #skiesofarcadia #fear
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!
Uh oh, looks like our dear Sam is taking “down time” a little too seriously! Taken after our last stream show last month by @johnkatamari.bsky.social. How do you think you would relax after a concert? #vgm #funk #fusion #relaxation

Which one is your favorite? #videogamemusic #luigismansion #gamecube
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
Another #tbt to @discocact.us' performance at Songbyrd Music House! This is @slamb0b.bsky.social's face-ripping Starcraft arrangement. By the way, we have a Twitch show coming up! Catch us tomorrow at 7pm EDT on our twitch channel, twitch.tv/discocactusmusic to hear us perform tunes like this live.
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
Thanks for the love, #vgmcon! We had a blast, performing for you was such an honor 💚
The @discocactus.bsky.social set at @vgmcon.bsky.social today was nothing short of incredible. The entire weekend was amazing, but that set made had me bopping the entire time!
i would run through a wall for @discocactus.bsky.social
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
Hey #VGMCON! Catch us at the Boss Stage at 4:30 central time! If you're not at the venue, you can also catch us streaming the show to our twitch channel over at twitch.tv/discocactusmusic
Performing with @discocactus.bsky.social in about 45 minutes on the Boss stage at #vgmcon! If you're not there we'll also be streaming the show to our twitch channel over at twitch.tv/discocactusmusic
Oh yeah, so, if you're at VGMCON, I'm performing with @discocactus.bsky.social Saturday at 4:30 on the boss stage! Be there or be square which is not very cactus-like
