Soundbytes runs 8-bit/chipmusic gigs in Melbourne, Australia.

We are dedicated to furthering the chipmusic scene and giving the best of Australia's (and hopefully in the future the world's!) chip artists a place to perform, giving the chip loving public a place to come to hear some amazing tracks and have fun nights packed with great music, gaming and a chance to get nostaligic.

Chipmusic is music made with both old and new gaming consoles, and it's a way of reinventing systems like the atari and gameboy that are close to our hearts.

The scene is kind of small in Australia so far, but with your help, it will only get bigger and better.
