q: thanks for putting out all the brass mp3s. that
rules!!! oh yeah!! sweet. but where are all the
older songs, like the ones off the first self-titled album?
and can i buy that album?

a: that's two questions, but fine. unfortunately the
first album is out of print and at the present time there
are no plans to repress. if that ever changes, we'll
definitely make it known on the site. mp3s from it are
available on a bunch of sites/torrents online.

q: do you guys allow bootlegging of your shows? and tape trading? and mp3s to be downloaded off of other sites or off of p2p's?

a: sure do, buster brown. but if you find anyone else selling our songs, please let us know.

q: i don't know what I'm doing here, what the hell is this crappy lo-fi site?

a: this is the minibosses web site. we are a phoenix based band dedicated to playing nes music with two guitars, a bass, and a drum set. we love playing, it's really fun.

q: have you guys ever thought of doing megaman 2 music?

a: yes. and every time we play it, we think more about doing it.

q: where is the tab, big daddy?

a: man, have there been requests for tab. burke tried to settle this on the message board, but i thought i would post something here semiofficially. we have absolutely NO plans of putting any tab up. why? tabbing out on a computer is a pain in the ass. now, this being said to all you budding guitarists/bassists out there, here is what i suggest. get a plugin for winamp that slows our songs down without changing the pitch and figure it out by ear, or use an emulator or old nintendo to figure out your own arrangement of the songs. it is a good musical exercise to do this, and then you can make your own tabs and sell them for outrageous prices to your friends. in fact, eventually we will put up a fan section on THIS site where people can feel free to post any tabs they want, along with logos, etc. blah blah. hell, if we ever do feel like tabbing that is where we would post them too. in the imaginary fan/misc. section! in fact, they are there already! YEAH!

q: how come you haven't played my request?

a: because if we played everybody's requests, then there would never be free time again for us ever, and then you definitely wouldn't be getting any tabs...

q: how long have you guys been playing together?

a: wood and burke had played before in a band called the jenova project. they had about a years break from that and then in january of 2000 ben started playing with them, thanks to lisa fastenberg, who is about as hot as they come for an abstract algebra teacher.

q: where do you guys record/practice?

a: we recorded our first shitty demo album with jayce desantis in massachusetts (not his fault that it's shitty). we recorded our ep with our friend john brandon. and then we recorded brass at a studio called flying blanket with the industrious bob hoag.

q: What do you guys use for equipment?
