So I just moved here from Brooklyn, where we were all spoiled with a million chip shows a month and pulsewave, and 8static, just a short ways away, and just a bit further, Boston8bit. I was working way too much to be able to take advantage of the buffet of live chip music at my doorstep. Now, I'm getting ready to go back to school, have a little bit more time on my hands and I have no live chip music. I really really want to be more involved. I want to make more music, play more shows, hone my skills and learn from/ help others. For many years I was involved in the punk scene in Miami, and I've seen people put great things together with almost nothing, especially in a musical wasteland like Miami, I'm sure we can do it here.
I know Saskrotch (WHO HAS ONE OF MY FAV CHIP ALBUMS AS OF LATE AND I REALLY WANT TO SEE LIVE) and esc (WHO I HAD THE PLEASURE OF ROCKING OUT TO ONCE IN BROOKLYN AND NEED MORE OF) live near by. I've just met Rawkz0rz, who is a fan of da chips and just learning LSDJ wanting to make some music/start up a scene too. I know there are some people in the surrounding areas as well.
I'll be attending SAIC and Rawkzorz goes to Columbia, both of which, as art schools, have free space for the taking, and some equipment to make use of (also for free). I feel pretty confident we could get a semi-constant thing going. There also seem to be some more "unusual music" friendly venues around. Which may be explored more if/when this thing grows a little.
I know we're all broke, and we all have work and obligations, but I for one am ready to put in a little effort to make a community out here, with the hopes that some others are as well. Talking a little with Br1ght Pr1mate, and seeing what they've been abIe to achieve in Boston, I feel confident that if we can make a place for people to come, we might just be surprised who/ what will come out of the woodworks to fill the void.
So, who's in?Lets make it happen.
My email is [email protected] . Hit me up, or send me a PM here. I will get back to you. I'd like to maybe plan something as soon as mid/late september. Drop me a line. Lets meet up, lets grab a beer/coffee/food. Lets talk chips and make some plans.
