About the artists:
Joey Mariano and his music are one portion of the chip music schematic. The capacitance of his creations range from genre connections to genre transformers and are not limited to the common rules and regulations associated with normal sound organization. Mariano is know for bringing a heavily improvised approach to chip music with his Gameboy Foot controller + an 8bit style fuzz pedal. Constantly seeking new modes and formulas for music, Mariano places his unique musical chemistry under the alias Animal Style.
Chipocrite aka Paul Weinstein (former bassist of MJ Project, Philadelphia’s favorite jamtronfusion monstergroup) started making music with Game Boys in early 2009. It was the sound he felt he was destined to create, a mix of old and new, a way to bridge the comforting video game tones he grew up with and the complex but catchy songs he was hearing in his head all those years later. He’s constantly adding new songs to his repertoire, which has been described as “upbeat and danceable. It’s exciting, it’s neato, and, above all, it’s some of the most fun he’s ever had making music.
Robert Joffred, or Ro-Bear, initially fell in love with the music of video games early on while playing Tetris Attack and Yoshi's Island on his Super Nintendo. After learning musical instruments from guitar to trombone, he discovered LSDJ in the spring of 2008 and hasn't looked back. Taking influences from Maurice Ravel to Daryl Hall, Ro-Bear focuses on making heavily melodic compositions created from a Nintendo Game Boy.
Kris Keyser is just another guy with a Game Boy. Having hopped from instrument to instrument in his over 10 years of music making, Kris has finally found his perfect match in the portable powerhouse known as Little Sound DJ. In his relatively short time in the chip scene, Kris has jumped from relative unknown to relative known, playing chipscene institutions I/O and Pulsewave and making countless feet move and brains melt. Kris looks forward to a 2010 release on Cheese'N'Beer.

I did really enjoy Ro-Bear's set though ...and some of those electronic bands weren't too bad! Awesome seeing the Philly crew (Joey rules for being the de facto 2nd soundguy of the night and letting us use his PA), IAYD, Batsly Adams, and meeting I, Cactus for the first time. Also thanks to NYC for coming out in a big way as well,you guys are awesome. Thanks to CNB for turning a less than optimal situation into a damn good time.
