Balún
http://www.balunonline.com/
Brought together by their love of simple melodies, 16mm films, cartoon doodles, classical and folk instruments, and experimental pop music, Balún was formed in San Juan, Puerto Rico by José Olivares and Angélica Negrón, and now includes Andrés Fontanez, Noraliz Ruíz, Leonardo Velázquez and Justin Wolf.
The band has performed at Decibel Fest, Pop Montreal, Nacotheque and Pulsewave with artists like Vampire Weekend, Headlights, Tujiko Noriko, minusbaby, and Barbara Morgenstern. They have also collaborated with illustrator Tatiana Arocha on a short film for the DVD series PSST! and with Puerto Rican experimental theater company Y No Había Luz.
Mark DeNardo

Is anti-chip-punk-folk a genre? Perhaps not, but Mark DeNardo is the first name that comes to my mind. Classifying his music output as chip or punk or folk would do a disservice to all parties. The Graffiti Monsters front man, Fables folk shredder, and solo chip songster demonstrates well what happens when one "writes chip music for ten years" : twice the pride, double the achievement.

An 8-bit maniac and developer of the NSK-1 synthesizer for the Nintendo NES, this retired wrestler turned chip musician clotheslines his way to New York City for his Chinatown circuit debut.
Goferboy
http://www.8bitcollective.com/members/goferboy/
Many times a boy has taken to a stage, and many times a boy has danced. But only once has a boy deliver the furry and explosiveness to a stage that goferboy has. Also known as Henry Andrew Baum, goferboy began his existence as a twinkle in his father's eye that turned into a flame that could be extinguished. His sound, using gameboys as his weapons, vary from melodic frolics, to gloomy bass, and disco pulsations. The results impregnates the audiences ears, as his provocative, neon hip fluxuations, fertilizes their hearts.
