SoundBytes @ PAX

You may have seen on the PAX site that we are very excited to be not only be part of the panels at this year’s PAX Australia, presenting a panel on chipmusic with dot.AY, cTrix, Derris-Kharlan and ‘Team SoundBytes’ but they have just announced that we will also presenting those artists on the Friday night, live and loud on the music stage!

For those PAX fans who don’t know who we are, and have come via the PAX site, SoundBytes is Australia’s longest running live chipmusic – almost 5 years of Australia and the world’s greatest chip artists. As well as our smaller SoundBytes shows which take places a few times a year, we are also responsible for the Australian version of the now defunct Blip Festival, and the Australian stop of Square Sounds Festival.

We’re a little bit of your one stop shop for Australian chip shows. If PAX whets your appetite for more chipmusic, watch this space as we will be presenting a SoundBytes at the Evelyn (who also have the Protomen and MC Frontalot playing during the week) the Friday night after PAX and we’d love to see you there.

You can also follow us on facebook or twitter – links to the right of this post!

PS – Our good friends 7bit Hero are also playing at PAX, don’t miss them, they’re AMAZING!

CouchWarriors

2013 is shaping up to be a year for some very exciting partnerships and special events and the first one that we'd like to announce (post Square Sounds anyway!) is that we are partnering up with Couch Warriors to help provide some musical relief for Battle Area Melbourne in just 4 short weeks!

Battle Arena Melbourne will bring together some of the states top competitive videogamers to battle it out for the honour of being the best and our good friend Pselodux will not only be kicking the weekend off, but also playing between rounds during the finals!
This should be a fun event for any gamers out there, so make sure you check out their links below for more details.
