However archaic the music from your old Nintendo games may seem at this point, there's a certain comfort in hearing the first strains of Super Mario Bros. The 8-bit sounds are familiar and nostalgic. New York City's Anamanaguchi start with that familiarity by replacing synthesizers with a hacked Game Boy and NES, and add to it a more conventional rock line-up of guitar, bass, and drums. The resulting output would have Little Mac in top fighting condition in no time. This is your mid-80's 8-bit dreams come true. Pittsburgh's Extreme Animals and local outfit Revengineers both open the show. Anamanaguchi plays Sunday, January 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $10-$12. 454-2966, bugjar.com
