Haha, farts.

Boston has been interesting, the group of artists consists of independent acts that are playing all sorts of different gigs all over the state in-between the actual "chiptune n" shows. I think a lot of the gravitation toward the chipmusic night setups is that the cities provide a central area for everyone to gather - It's a good idea to share information between artists on what it takes to book a night and put on a good show with other types of acts, maybe it happens during a pre-chipmusic-night meeting/workshop type thing. Having individual artists feel confident enough to go out and either set up or join a gig would get this genre out into the surrounding areas outside of the city and improve the reception of chip acts in general.

I live in New Bedford (30 mins south of Boston) with a couple of members of Seventh Gear, and whenever possible we set up shows down there as well to branch out in terms of location. Since we began doing that, the local venue owners now take our acts seriously and it's easy for us to blend in better with what's usually happening around town at night. Through the contacts we're making in the process, eventually we'll be able to branch over to Providence and play regularly there as well. It's all about that branching! Of course in each of these pockets of activity, there are those that are more familiar with the process of putting acts together and putting on a night - if that's you and you feel so inclined, start the conversation! Not only will it spread the "acceptability" of our acts around, but it's eventually going to give you some place nearby to play comfortably.
