Presenting the first of many live music events brought to you by MegaByte, and boy is it a first. All the way from the US and right before he plays the London Anime Con we're proud to present... *drumroll*
MEGA RAN (US)
...
Random, aka Mega Ran. Teacher, Rapper, Hero. As one of the first independent artists to secure an exclusive licensing agreement with a major videogame developer, Random manages the unthinkable by dazzling retro gamers while garnering respect from Hip-Hop's harshest critics. Random's unique combination of fantasy and introspective hip-hop has found its way into movies, video games, and even coursework at several universities. By day, he is a middle school English teacher.

CHIPZEL (NI)
Chipzel is the alias of 18 year old Niamh Houston, an independent Northern Irish chip-musician who indulges in the use of Gameboys to create energetic, melodic dance tracks. Through taking the original 8bit sound and manipulating it into something frantically hard-hitting, Chipzel has seen crowds of all ages turn to “raving loons”, taken right back to their days of retro gaming with a thunderous twist.

THE TIN FOIL HAT BRIGADE (UK)
The Tin Foil Hat Brigade (or TTFHB for short) is the Scouse Powerhouse of chipmusic. Using his mix of noise, power-pop and punk/hardcore, he enthralls, mystifies and terrifies audiences over the world, from New York to Nottingham, and Paris to Peckham (it was actually the much trendier Shoreditch, but for alliteration's sake we'll say Peckham). TTFHB live performances promise all sorts of high-energy mayhem, from Lucha libre masks to mass singalongs to covers of the cheesiest of pop music!
Download the new album "The Rocker, The Shocker, The Show Stopper" for FREE on their website.
