There have only been a few bands/artists that have taken the video game music business and made it their own.  I have the honor of hosting Rei from Super Monster Party today and it's gotta be a great thing to experience.  How many get to do this? 

I should say that I greatly enjoyed speaking to Rei, but we did have a plethora of real audio and video issues, plus he was stuck near a political parade and I spilled my coffee and had connection issues.  It was a complete mess, so our conversation is as good as the editing.  I hope you enjoy what we put together for you.

Lastly, remember that Super Monster Party has a new album called ' Rage Quit,' which came out in November of 2024 and it's a blast.  So.... 

It's time. Let's get to this.  Ladies and gentlemen, put your pixels together for Rei Sega of Super Monster Party.  Let's go!
