imo if you want to find chiptune gigs you have to step back from the internet and look around yourself... really take stock of what's important

IMO it's just a global term for any collection of people that are into the same kind of stuff

yes this this this

chances are in your town there's something a lot "weirder" than chipmusic happening at any given time, sometimes it works out when you just reach out to people and say "hey, I'm into this stuff lately"

it builds support not just for your own music but for anyone else who might be interested in making it too; and at the very least you might make some really rad new friends in the process

This.

Though lately, I mostly play as the only chip-based hardcore/harsh noise act in otherwise regular hardcore/harsh noise sets, which have their own scenes that are inclusive and welcoming to hearing a gameboy make ear-splitting noise. It's a lot easier to just include yourself into another local scene that's generally welcoming to outsiders than to go the nine yards and make a scene. I'm a regular at a grimy-ass punk house because they're always able to get down to my stuff.

I'm in tucson and make chiptunes. Unfortunately I don't think there are too many others here that are into chip and I haven't heard of any shows happening.

You don't find them. They're all secret shows.

Any suggestions? I'm currently living in Tucson and can't seem to find anyone that really listens to it and I'm not sure how to find info on any upcoming shows or concerts and I'd really like to go to some while I'm here.
