Sorry, didn't mean to imply that nothing happens in London! There are some amazing gigs with amazing lineups happening over there. I was just trying to give 8GB props for hitting the ground running.

Was thinking about this, and had the thought that if London has a perception of being quiet nowadays, it may have more to do with the fact that London put itself on the chipmusic map about 10 years ahead of the game & set the bar incredibly high with regular events that made a really big impression among "early" micromusic.net denizens & whatnot. So while any scaling-back can give the illusion of "getting quieter," I think that dialing down the volume knob from "11" to "10" is still pretty fuckin' loud.
This is all true mate. I think the main thing I react to is some of the stuff trotted out in the forum thread on this subject (http://chipmusic.org/forums/topic/5964/ … es-nights/) which would have you believe nothing happens (edit: its that type of comment that really gets to me). I think theres a certain amount of London-style apathy too.
I think we probably dialed it back from 11 to 6 or something 
Personally speaking, I do wish I could do more - but what with work, my own music and gigs, plus maxymiser its a busy schedule.
I have hope that with 'Analog Attack', '8bitvomit', 'Handbaked Arcade' to name a few we should be quite a bit higher on the activity scale soon.
(also, who knows, there might be another gwEm run night later this year - in some kind of grimey venue with a loud soundsystem and the younger generation taking recreational drugs in the corner etc etc)

You guys realise it's only two hours on the train from London to Liverpool, right? The NWUK Massive is smashing LDN at the moment, with ChipFests and Megabytes galore!

Shut up you're just an asshole.
Haha JOKING! 
Anyway, all the credit goes to SABREPULSE who actually started to organize this one up, not me. We're just helping out! I love organizing stuff so in any way I can help, it is my pleasure.
Just keep those eyes peeled for anything else new that might happen in the nearby future...

I haven't lived in the UK since I knew about a wider chip scene, really curious what the vibe is like.
