CalmDownKidder Presents....ChipFest 9!
UPDATE: if you dress up as a wrestler (and actually make effort), you get *FREE* entry.
Welcome to the second of many once-every-two-months ChipFests, and the 9th ChipFest so far. This show also marks James CalmDownKidder's 25th Birthday, so there'll probably be free cake and stuff too!
~~~Organ Freeman~~~
Alien synth-rock from Wirral; rocking two microphones, two drummers and a Yamaha QY700 MIDI sequencer, Organ Freeman have been playing various shows in the UK to massive acclaim, including stints playing with Ms Dynamite and soon to be performing with OPM! Their live shows are a real treat - not to be missed!

Straight Edge Game Boy Punk from Newcastle!
"We practice a unique blend of hardcore, skate punk and chiptune, weaving guitars with Game Boys in a heady hardcore mix of angst and stokedness!"

~~~The Tin Foil Hat Brigade~~~
It's my birthday and I'll play if I want to!
The Tin Foil Hat Brigade (or James Smith to his mates) is a Liverpool, England based act who uses Nintendo Game Boys to create his punk stylings.
Songs run the gamut of emotions from A-B, and include such fare as Road Rage, Relationships, and perhaps most crucially, shouting abuse at women from cars.
TTFHB has played amongst such artists as Petrol Bastard, Goto80 and Nullsleep, and he would be a perfect fit for your small child's birthday party/Bar Mitzvah or other social gathering.

~~~Euan Lynn~~~
Euan Lynn comes from the North-East of England and makes lo-fi surfy garage punk with a Game Boy and guitar inspired by the likes of The Ramones, 60's surf rock and a misspent youth involving video games and skateboards
"His songs are short, to the point and not for the fainthearted. His vocals sound like he’s phoning in from the edge of a nervous breakdown, while battling through swathes of lofi industrial noise. Right up my street." - Tom Robinson
"A glorious surf punk racket via guitar and the humble Game Boy" - NARC Magazine
