Imagine you had a video camera and at least two friends who were as talented as you are on the marimba. I know! Crazy stuff! … but what would you do? Would you perform and record one of the most sophisticated Legend of Zelda covers known to YouTube? Perhaps. Perhaps!
Geeky music videos
Welcome to the Music category, where we turn up the volume on the sounds of geek culture. This is your destination for epic gaming soundtracks, synthwave scores, chiptune artists, and bands whose lyrics are inspired by our favourite fandoms. We celebrate the music that provides the backdrop to our adventures, from the sweeping orchestrations of a fantasy epic to the pulsing beats of a cyberpunk future.
We have a special appreciation for the visual side of music, and this section is always on the lookout for clever, creative, and unapologetically geeky music videos. If a song tells a story or an artist has a unique vision, you'll likely find their videos featured here. Tune in and discover your next geek anthem.
Song for Ulvaak
The song for Ulaavk by Allie Goertz is an original melody and a song for Dungeons and Drgaons. The lyrics are by Patton Oswalt and for a D&D character he played. I think we’ve all had characters that we feel artistic about – I can only imagine how could it would be for someone like […]
The struggles and adventures of Doctor Who pop music
There have been times when UK pop culture has met Doctor Who. It hasn’t always been all that great. In 1988, The Timelords had a hit called “Doctorin’ The Tardis” that made it to number one. These are the same two people – Jimmy Cauty and Bill Drummond – who were behind the Justified Ancients […]
Pokemon capella
Nope, “Capella” isn’t a new type of Pokemon. It’s a singing style that’s been taken over by geek natives on YouTube. In this case we’re talking about Matt Mulholland and if you want to catch them all you also need to check out The Matrix Lobby scene as a capella. I’d say it remains his […]
Get On It – Mister Who
Mister Who is an animated comic and ambitious franchise from London. It’s the sort of comic that’s drawn with more streetwise than most of the fictional heroes could aspire to and yet the production team busys themselves with school outreach projects. This YouTube is a Mister Who music video for “Get On It” which features […]
D&D song: Tonight
This is a rather fetching song. It has charisma. It’s cute. It’s about D&D. Our singer songwriter is an actual D&D player who writes that she’s used the game to detach herself from aspects of real life. I think escapism is a healthy reason to roll the die. I also think this song needs a […]
250 Canon DSLRS, Flash Units and androp equal impressive music video
I wasn’t aware of the Japanese band androp before today. Now I’m impressed. I liked their music, but this post is about their music video. The band’s creative team came up with the idea of using real cameras, some 250 Canon 60D DSLRs along with their flash unites to create the effects for a video. […]
Batman: The Animated Series as a metal mashup
I’m not sure where to start on this one! Let’s start with the rather awesome music from Batman: the animated series. Let’s turn that into some geeky and slightly cheesy metal with plenty of power. Okay. Let’s combine that with some computer game inspired music video madness. Let’s make sure the band, Powerglove, play along […]
Harry Potter metal mashup
Cast your mind back to the middle of July when Geek Native featured an impressive Star Wars metal mashup. Good, wasn’t it? The rather talented 331Erock has succumb to YouTube fanbase pressure and put together another mashup. This time… it’s Harry Potter. The timing was nearly perfect. What’s impressive is that the video rocketed past […]
Like a Boss!
This is a parody but I’m not sure what the original is. The full title of the video is “Like a Boss! Slim Thug Parody Music Video” so, um, there’s a band called Slim Thug? I nearly didn’t even bother checking this video out as I was sure this would not be music that appealed […]
