We're happy to share that our fifth blowout chiptune event will be a part of PAX East 2010: Chiptune 5! We've been fostering a scene in the city that been gaining momentum since last year, showcasing both local acts and some great talent from all over New England/NY/PA. We're so pumped to bring you two shows worth of good times on Saturday and Sunday, check out our Vimeo page for some example videos from our previous shows! Super special thanks to Penny Arcade!, Reed Expo and the MAGfest guys that are overseeing the Jamspace room, who were gracious enough to share their space in order to make this happen. :-)
When?
Chiptune 5 will be happening on Saturday 3/27 and Sunday 3/28 in the Jamspace. The official PAX schedule specifies that the 3/27 show will be from 10:30a-2:00p, and the 3/28 show will be 12:00-2:30p. The first hour of Saturday will be a panel on chiptune/B8B/other fun things. You can e-mail [email protected].

Why?
We herd you like chips, so we put chips in your music so you can glitch out while you dance.

I am also including links to our social networking site nonesuch so you can connect with us and find out about the shows we are doing in/around Boston!
