David’s Pegasus
Choose the Game
RRR00003
David's Pegasus is a multimedia art project introducing audiences to a colorful fantasy world by way of fashion, music, and animation. The music of David's Pegasus sounds like the animation looks: colorful, bright, and catchy. To match the video game theme, songs are arranged using real samples and synth instruments from classic game and computer systems including the Commodore64 and NES. There is a sense of harmony between man and machine, player and computer, video and audio. While David's Pegasus is not technically a virtual band (the titular cartoon characters do not play music together), the animated feature is a substantial part of the group's performance. This approach is partly in tribute to the music and films of the silent era when audiences enjoyed live accompaniment to the on-screen action.
The band was nominated for the Best Indie award at the 2007 NAMA's and performed a brief episode at the award ceremony. Choose the Game was produced and released in March, 2007. The debut album garnered critical acclaim from local media and independent record stores with David's Pegasus receiving further NAMA 2008 nominations, including Best Indie Band, Album of the Year, and Band of the Year. Long-running indie record store Sound Warehouse voted the debut "Best Local Release of the Year" and celebrated the announcement with an in-store concert in April, 2008.
