As reported, The Disco Biscuits held a New Year’s Eve concert at the PlayStation Theater in New York City. The show featured a video games theme and the band has shared official video footage of one of the songs performed in Time Square that fit into the night’s motif.

Bisco adorned the stage with Pac-Man and other video game props and dotted the show with theme-appropriate sounds. They incorporated Pac-Man samples and played the themes to such 8-bit classics as Tetris, DuckTales and Super Mario Bros..
