Yeah can you tell I haven't been in here to update even the lineup is only half here. Where have all you Aussie people come from!
There will be an audio stream, but no guarantees about the quality, we'll do our best!

Just in case anyone here is interested in adding to their chip-tee collection Square Sounds Festival shirts for this years fest are available by pre order, but you only have another 48 hours to place your order as the fest is fast approaching. We think they are pretty rad, and mostly, unless you're an artist, we suspect not many will leave Australia.

This means you'll probably be the only person wearing one at the next chip show you go to wink

A bump thats a little ranty -

Every year, people get to this time (the time where I make the full lineup available) and say 'aw man, I should have booked, I would love to go to this' and most people don't because Australia is a very long way away.

Those people who do come from overseas, (mostly because they come to play report) that it's one of the best crowds they have played to, even if it's a smaller than some of the ones around the world (our population is tiny compared to a lot of the big chip cities).

So you get a much more intimate show, with some of the best folks around, artists and otherwise. If you continue to miss out, to you I say, in my most Australian way - Sucked in, this show is going to ROCK. tongue

pieces of 8-bit
pir8-bit radio
sand boats
shiptunes

All these puns and more could be yours, at a very special SoundBytes16:Shiptunes event for "International Talk Like a Pirate Day".

The team behind Australia's longest running chipmusic event, SoundBytes like any excuse for an off-beat kind of party, and the fact that International Talk Like a Pirate day is falling on a Friday, is an awesome excuse in our book.
Add to the fact that a bunch of our favourite chip tune artists have 'chipped' in to create pirate themed songs and visuals specially for the event and we'll be announcing the first half of the line up for Square Sounds Melbourne 2015 (with some of them making special long distance appearances at the show!), and you've got an extra fun "booty"- shaking good time.

With sets from
Peaches the Wale
10K vs godinpants
Alligator Williams
Calavera
Square Tony and the Arps
(The all-star band formed for Square Sounds Melbourne 2014, featuring cTrix, Pselodux, Derris-Kharlan, Tiasu and Aday)

Combining the bleeps, bloops and bass and 8-bit audio visual awesomeness that SoundBytes is famous for with some seafaring fun, this will be a night that you won't want to miss.

Hey,
As far as a Melbourne show goes, ordinarily we would try to offer an artist that was coming through town an opportunity to play at a SoundBytes, but it's two weeks before Square Sounds 2015, it's just too close together for us to try and do both. If you find yourself in Melbourne again during your Perth stay let us know and we'll see can work something out.

(That said if you're a chip fan, you might want to organise your trip in such a way you can be in Melbourne for SSM15 anyway, you probably won't get a whole lot of other opportunities to see chip and the preparty might be an option for you to play as well. There's potentially for us to work with a Perth promoter on a show around that time too, so we'll keep your availability in mind)

Australia's longest running chiptune event series finally (!) returns for 2014 with it's first standalone show of 2014, with a new day (Saturday!) and a new venue. Soundbytes, the sister event to the annual Square Sounds Festival is taking over the Grace Darling Hotel bandroom with some familiar faces, and some that we know will become new favourites.

For the first of a planned three shows before the end of the year, we are excited to be introducing some new, amazing artists who have popped up online, at Square Sounds related events like the open mics, and through word of mouth, while still ensuring you get to see your favourite artists from our past events. This show will feature some of the best, most original and most danceable indie electronic music in Australia, while incorporating more 8-bit bleeps and bloops than you can shake a game boy at.

SoundBytes 15 will rock your socks off and features -
cTrix
Pselodux
Derris-Kharlan (featuring Tiasu)
Xandox (ADE)
Slato (BNE)
Alex Lane (NSW)

Tickets $15 on the door
http://www.sound-bytes.com.au/

(Note: no presales for this event, door sales only. Due to licensing of this particular venue, under 18s are allowed to attend but only in the company of a parent or guardian. )
