Harptallica is playing the Funhouse tonight. What is Harptallica, you ask? Well it’s exactly what it sounds like:

The All Harp Tribute to Metallica

Harptallica began in early 2006 when Ashley Toman, a grad student at the Eastman School of Music, decided to arrange one Metallica song, “Fade to Black,” for two harps. Somehow this turned into 10 Metallica Songs and a CD which they recorded in November, 2006. The CD, titled “Harptallica,” will contain songs from “Ride the Lightning,” “Master of Puppets,” “…And Justice for All,” and “Metallica.”

Also playing the Funhouse tonight are 13th Grade and video game cover band Press Start to Rock, of whom Sam M. remarked:

They’re an instrumental four-piece out of Kirkland who specialize in “rock” versions of old video game background music, much like national acts The Advantage or The Minibosses. PStR are, by far, the worst band I’ve ever seen. And I absolutely loved them.
