My band uses an FM Transmitter (the kind you'd use in your car to listen to your ipod over your car speakers) and portable radios as in-ear monitors. It's a little ghetto but works for us ;-)
That's clever! Probably works best at basement shows!

Thanks! It works pretty well all around. I think only time we had issues with is when we played on the 2nd story of this club and a spanish radio station kept randomly cutting in and out >.<
I play live with LSDJ, a vocoder, my mouth, and an autoharp. I mix everything myself in a tiny little mixer, and just wear headphones out of that so I can hear everything. If you're a small enough act, I'd recommend this. I play at a lot of typically electronic venues, which don't really have monitors, so yeah. bring yer own!
Just started trying out the bass+guitar+lsdj today!
We kind of discovered we could get a great sound by using two gameboys--designating one for high frequencies and one for lows. Then, we cut the lowmid out of the bass gameboy and the highmid out of the treble gameboy. Then, we upped the low mid frequency on the bass and high mid frequency on the guitar to fill in the gaps.
For vocals, we had quite the success putting them right in the middle.
Using this set up, we were really able to create a big wall of sound made of very distinct parts.
[edit] Later this week, we're gonna try to use famitracker!!! W00t.

If Nintendo core implies like, hardcore metal, then no. More of a hybrid of "math" music and pop. Mathpop?

No Nintendo core is Chiptune with rock instruments like guitars and drum kits.
Then yes, haha. XD

Oh i didn't see that lolz
my bad
In Cheap Dinosaurs we use a submixer for Bucky to hear LSDJ on headphones. As for how he keeps in time with Dino's monstrous drum parts, I'm pretty sure it's black magic.
You really like adding -core to the end of these stupid genre things, don't you?
So (real) drums are often the loudest thing on a stage
but we use an ekit so I've never had to wear headphones so far...
also nothing rustles my jimmies more than someone using the "word" nintendocore unironically
even ironically it rustles my jimmies

Ive been through a few drummers, and the best ones (bucky included) play alongside the chip drums versus trying to duplicate them. This keeps them from getting too messed up when lsdj decides to lose a tick here or there.
