We will be playing at the Pyramid Scheme in Grand Rapids, MI on Saturday, January 28th! Lineup will be Noisewaves, Tokyo Morose, and then us. We'll be performing around 11pm.
We have two new originals (!!) and one new C64 game cover song, plus a giant projection screen for the night thanks to Don Ryske! Excited to hear the gear through the system there, and to check out Noisewaves.
We will be playing at Vertigo records in downtown Grand Rapids on Saturday, November 5th for the Vertigo-A-Go-Go show, along with Wicker Basket, Royl Space, Invisible Mansion, Waxines, Lucky Shoreline, Jeff Finan & Jason Richardson.
We will be performing around 4pm! Expect some new material, and possibly our video projection (it will be fairly bright in there, so projection might not work well)
Our performances are Wednesday Sept 21st, Friday Sept 23rd, and Friday Sept 30th.
The shows will start at 9:00 pm, and end around 9:30.
We will be playing a wide range of Commodore 64 video game music, and our own original music, all exclusively through the C-64 audio chip. Our performance features live video projection on a 16 foot screen behind us, with scripted scenes of the group interacting in 8-bit video game worlds and much more! The videos feature work from within the group, and work from other local film and video artists as well.
Map and location description:
We will be located on the concrete stage at Ah Nab Awen park, right by the river in front of the Ford Museum. For a map of the site, click here. The link takes you to a map which is basically the Ford Museum, the stage area we are performing on is directly in front of the building down the short hill, right in front of the Grand River.
Here's a link to a photo of the park for those unfamiliar with area, the stage area we are performing on is located to the left between the flagpoles:
