Living Tombstone at the Roxy: The Living Tombstone initially made their name writing songs to attract fandoms — Five Nights at Freddy’s and My Little Pony, to name two. But that almost cheapens the fact that they create incredible, innovative music. We spoke to them last December, and Yoav Landau said that, “The culture of the internet is about being there first, being the first one to make a meme about a thing. In the case of FNAF, when I started to see people talking about it, it was easy to make a post with a song and lyrics about the game, see this thing catch fire, and then it goes on YouTube.” Boom! QBomb and ElyOtto also perform.

“We treat this as a very structured full-time job, and in spite of the fact that now we have moved into the music industry formally instead of just being on YouTube, we still operate in that DIY fashion,” Sam Haft added. “Other artists get very surprised at how much we do ourselves. We almost act like our own creative agency. It’s been a DIY operation since Day One, and that’s how we’re most comfortable working.”

Living Tombstone at the Roxy: The event takes place at 7 p.m. on Sunday, October 29 at the Roxy.
