Inspired by classic videogame soundtracks and electronic music from the 70s and 80s, 8 Bit Weapon delivers a sound that is as unique as it is original. Clever melodies, nostalgic atmosphere, and energetic beats create a decidedly modern sound while maintaining a fun, lo-tech aesthetic.
Michelle Mitchell is ComputeHer, a one woman wall of lofi-sound! Michelle creates her unique music using vintage computers and video game consoles, as well as an assortment of other fun synths & drum machines. When she isn't blasting bits with her beats, she can be found in her garden where she tends the beets you can eat!
Michelle is also a member of the band 8 Bit Weapon and will performing a double shift on this summer's "Disko Apocalypse Tour 2010". She will be performing a solo music set as ComputeHer, then perform another set as half of 8 Bit Weapon!

I don't think I ever got those 2 MP3 tracks? Have they been sent?
Hi Everyone,
We are waiting for the transfer of funds from amazon.
Once that is completed we'll be sending out all the goods!
Downloadable mp3's & albums will be sent to your email account via yousendit.com shortly after amazon lets us know the transfer is complete.
All physical merch will be sent out early next week.
Thank you all again!

Where can I download Silo64 and Modemoiselle? I'm one of the $10 backers.
Saw 8 Bit Weapon live in San Fran and they were awesome. Especially dug the old school Tron homage
Brilliant work - good luck with the project! I started my digi-music career on an Atari 800 with EA's Music Construction Set - 4 squeaky voices of audio at one time, and writing music with a joystick one note at a time. It was a great time to be kid.
We want to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed! Together we made a dream into reality!!!
Congratulations on meeting your goal!
Saw 8 Bit Weapon at the Viper Room when he opened for Information Society, that was a great night!!!

Thank you sooo much David~! We will now be in Ottumwa, Iowa August 5th! See our site for details
I heard about your music from Jessica Chobot's link from her facebook fan page. I wish you luck and I'll keep an eye out for you to make it to the midwest at some point. Iowa isn't quite the hotbed of independent music, but you may find receptive audiences in the major college towns of Ames, Iowa City, and Cedar Falls or in the capital city of Des Moines. Lots of bands find it a nice stop-over in between gigs in Chicago and Minneapolis or Kansas City and Omaha because we are right in the middle. Anyway, Best of luck.
