Disgree, Martin(e).
I'm a member of a band 'To žluté co máte na kalhotkách' from the end of year 2006. I play Commodore 64 and our music in really not old style tracker demo music. We played lots of gigs, mostly in Brno, Prague, Ostrava, Bratislava and Košice with other electronic music bands from Czech republic and Slovak republic.
I purchased EMS 32M card in April 2008 and I'm making chipmusic in LSDJ since then.
There was no USB card in that time...
I met Ashimoke who invited our band to play a gig, but I Donť know about his career too much.
The first person I heard about using Gameboy to make music was Ondřej from Duo (sometimes Trio) Hugo & Zoe from my hometown Brno.
Hugo & Zoe (Vocal & DMG1+Nanoloop) are playing gigs since 2007 and they are not labeled here on Chipmusic or wasn't labeled on 8bc.
Ondřej also make some stuf with Arduinos and make Custom gameboys (Prosounding, Backlighting etc...), circuitbent and they cooperate with fashion shop called Minimon.
Anyway. Chiptune comunity is a part of Czech and Slovak Underground Electro music comunity and is quite small. I met people using Gameboys, GP2Xs, Dingoos, ZXSpectrums, Cammodores64, Renoises, BacktoBasics (from Bludgeonsoft) and KorgsDSs. But I didn't see any One man band here playing Chipmusic.

In Czech and Slovak republic (formerly federation) i knew personally around 20 chiptune artists. Today i don't know nobody (i am active in some music/audio forums here) and i think i am first here, who purchased DMG-01, EMS USB cartridge, LSDJ, backlight, ProSound mod etc.
