Update #3: So what are we doing with your extra cash?
Okay, so we have obviously beat our target and we promised that we would have a better gig if we beat our target.
So what have we done you ask?
First off, we have booked the best sound system we've had to date. Now, first of all you have to know, we don't skimp on sound. We get a pretty decent system, and have had to stop using in house sound at the venue, as it just can't keep up with us (No, seriously, we blew some speakers) but one thing we've always wanted to have at our gigs is a nexo rig... So firstthing we did when we meant funding was go out and book one.
One of the other things we've always wanted to do is get an international on the bill. Sure, we've had Jim Cuomo, who is a legend of chipmusic, but we always planned to get a contemporary artists who is a well known member of the 8-bit scene.
As such, we are very, VERY excited to announce that Sparkyboy out of South Africa is coming to play the gig. That's right your generous support has helped us make this happen. Of course, the extra expense has meant that we aren't quite going to be able to cover our expenses at the moment, but we'll cover any shortfall if required - that said - tell your mates to pledge, get your pledge in early to come and hang out with the artists before the show and see Reformat The Planet" can't wait to see you there!

Has not connected their Facebook account.
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.
