Blip Festival 2008

  • Index_large

For the past two years, Christmas has come early for old-school videogame lovers in the form of Blip Festival. Curated by 8bitpeoples and the Tank, Blip is a showcase for musicians who use hacked game consoles to create thoroughly modern sounds that can reduce even the most discerning listener to a giddy puddle. The third-annual fest boasts an international lineup, including Stu from Switzerland, who crafts crunchy electro with an Atari; Parisian Sidabitball, who uses Commodore 64s to cover the Fraggle Rock theme song and 2 Unlimited's "Get Ready for This"; and NYC locals Graffiti Monsters, who make chip-punk on PSPs and Game Boys. Stock up on infinite lives to survive dancing your ass off.
