lol nice

our crew back in the days of the Perth breakcore/hardcore scene used to get similar reactions.. usually we played in bars where the regular music was more along the lines of rock bands or "indie" DJs, so the regulars (ie. old dudes not there for music at all) would storm up to the performer and complain loudly. One guy nearly threw his beer at my friend mid-set, who was in turn inspired to make the music more repetitive and abrasive as a result lol

At these moments you need to entertain these mofos with doing rad stuff on stage lol ! I usually play like a fucking rockstar at these places ! Like throwing a defect gameboy on this ground Hendrix style screaming stuffs like TOGETHER WE CAN BEAT THE SYSTEM AND THE MACHINES...this or I elbow drop my old laptop keyboard once too !
Awesome times lol !

It's easy to jot down your ideas and thoughts of music into a playable format.

If it sounds alright on your headphones it's probably gonna sound alright through a speaker too.

Even though I don't release much chip music anymore, composing on LSDJ is the best tool to blast through writer's block since I don't feel any pressure to live up to a standard (as it is with the rest of my output).

Plus, the community really is for life. I love that I still get random calls for gigs now and then to just have a night of stupid fun, no matter how little or many people there are to party with us. There's a distinctive strength in the scene that is just not there in any other music scene. Plus that "Stop trying to look cool, this is gameboy music, just have fun" kind of mentality.
