Good times chiptune show last night!

Last night I was able to put together a great little chiptune show here in Los Angeles, Ca starring IllGill, EvilWezil, and Wizwars (as well as impromptu surprise guests The Silph Scope). It was called Pizza and Chips 2 and was held at Rose City Pizza. The night went great, with a bunch of folks, lots of delicious pizza, and a ton of prizes raffled off, including the likes of a classic Gameboy, an entire NES system with several games, and even amazing commissioned artwork by local artist Sasha Palacio. My blog today is to give a quick recap of the great goings on last night!

First up was IllGill who went on and did a mix of older songs along with newer tracks from his project with Nameless, Flying Fortress. They also had Flying Fortress CDs at the show, so expect a song from that on an episode of LVN soon!



After Illgill repped the nerdcore lifestyle with a ton of energy and showmanship, there was a bit of downtime while we waited for EvilWezil to rush from work to the show (hey, chiptune folks still got day jobs!) So while we waited, the brand new Chip rock group out of Riverside, CA, The Silph Scope, grabbed their gear and had a short impromptu set in the interim. It was even their first show! Hope to be hearing and seeing them around more in the future as well!




Once Silph Scope finished up after to or three songs, it was time for EvilWezil to take the stage. Once he started his set it was a 30 minute non stop rock out of brand new chiptunes, which like EvilWezil said at the end of his set, are currently unreleased and, "good luck finding them."



The last set of the night was the first Los Angeles show for LA native and fellow Shizzie, Wizwars, despite having done a ton of shows in many other locales. He put on a great set to end the night. including his most recent song from the brand new Beep City chiptune compilation, and closing the set with my personal favorite track from his release Gameboy Rock!!, the fantastic track Right Back To You.



So all in all a very awesome night, and can't wait to hold another one in Los Angeles very soon! (Like in April! *hint hint*)
