Thundercat shares Nintendo tribute ‘Bowzer’s Theme’, announces North American tour
It’s safe to say that Thundercat (aka Stephen Bruner) is somewhat nerdy.
Not content with honing his virtuoso bass skills and building his fusion collection, he also holds a torch for videogames, so it’s hardly surprising to hear that he was so moved by the recent death of former Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi that he wrote a track to commemorate it.
Entitled ‘Bowzer’s Theme’, it quickly reminds of the golden age of gaming (forget GTA V for a minute, OK) with some gorgeous harmonies no doubt provided by Bruner’s pianist co-writer Ruslan Sirota.
Bruner has also laid out plans embark on his very first headline tour of the U.S. and Canada this winter, and you can take a look at the dates below.
