Description
The 8-Bit Alliance tour of Anamanaguchi, Henry Homesweet, Sabrepulse, and Starscream is coming to CMU on March 23rd in Rangos Ballroom and it's FREE for everyone.
Anamanaguchi: a chiptune punk band from New York City that "makes loud, fast music with a hacked NES from 1985."
Sabrepulse (UK) is the undisputed godfather of the current 8-bit scene in the UK. Every year he organizes and performs at the Chiptune Alliance Tour where his breakbeats and sugar-coated melodies force kids into a frenzy at every stop. This is his first tour in the United States.
Starscream (NYC) - is a two-piece, just-graduated-high-school.. hurricane of Game Boy and drums. They make anthems for space, with drums like crushing black holes. They've just self-released their latest work, The Space Years and are currently exploring the Commodore 64.
Henry Homesweet (UK) takes Nintendo gameboys and drops them straight into a modern context, performing crunchy lo-fi techno and electro straight from the consoles, synced and mixed into one constant assult of mind candy.
