I'm not sure if you are aware, but LA has had a kind of a bad rep for chip shows: rare shows with small, disinterested crowds in awkward venues. I think that perception was pretty much destroyed Saturday night. Synchronicity was packed wall-to-wall with dancing, jumping, screaming bodies. Nullsleep said it was the best turnout so far on the tour. Alright! The old has passed away; behold the new has come.
Thanks to everyone who came out to support (I finally got a chance to meet 8 Bit Weapon!). We're going to take this momentum and try to start up a regular event. If you have any tips/connections for a venue that you think would be a good fit, fill me in.
Huge thanks to all the performers. They all killed it, did a great job promoting, and are just generally excellent guys. Also, big thanks to our man behind the camera, Jeriaska. He's been working super hard to capture cool happenings in the chiptune and videogame music scenes, and he filmed the whole show. I'll be sure to post any videos he puts together once he has had time to edit and put them up on Vimeo.

June is going to be the best month ever to be in Los Angeles. Every week Attract Mode will be organizing/throwing/attending some really cool event. And it all starts with the Collapsed Desires Tour 2010. This will be the first time Nullsleep has played in LA since the International Chiptune Resistance Tour in 2006! Joining him are three of my favorite chip musicians: Trash80, Mr. Spastic and George Michael Brower. This will be your last chance to catch George before he moves back to the east coast.
LET IT BEGIN

This Saturday, November 7th, in Little Tokyo! DATA BEEZ West Coast Micro Tour show 1 of 4.
This stop includes a chip music workshop at the Japanese American National Museum at 2PM and a live concert next door at the Chop Suey Lounge at 8PM. Both will feature minusbaby, starPause, crashfaster and Trash80 with visuals by Paris and Daniel Rehn.
If you've been waiting to check out Giant Robot's Biennale 2 at JANM, this is the absolute best time to go. Instead of paying the normal $9 museum admission fee, come with flier in hand to get access to the Biennale exhibition, the chip music workshop, AND the concert at Chop Suey all for $5. Learn about chiptunes, play some indie games, enjoy the art and then walk over to Chop Suey for epic chip beatz.
From databeez.com:
Chip music - an avenue of audio and visual exploration for artists choosing to adopt vintage video games as a deliberate, aesthetic choices - has enjoyed enormous success for over a decade on the East coast with world-class events the Blip Festival, Pulsewave and recent newcomer, 8static.
For the first time ever, Data Beez is spreading those same addictive, low-tech sounds across the West. It signals an evolving movement and sets a precedent for the future of chip music on the West Coast.

The show is this Saturday, so I need your help letting people know about it! Spread the word with the web flier and the print flier. (Don't forget to print out the flier to get $4 off admission!)
