“Trying to play me out like as if my name was Sega”

Launching live on the Creators Project this morning, 8-Bit is a video microsite, mixtape, and Mp3 dedicated to the 8 bit games and consoles from way back in the day. Nintendo, Sega, Atari classic games like Mario, Tetris and Paperboy get taken apart and remixed. Sonic the hedgehog makes an appearance in MarioLand, Mario beats drums in Contra Level 1 and Biggie Smalls’ 8bit self raps about computer consoles. Check the mp3 for the extended audio mix.

Wow that was an amazing 4 days. Bonnaroo was insane fun and we ended up playing a total of 5 times. We flew into Chattanooga airport early Thursday so we could get maximum time to check out the festival. Our experiences of festivals have been of Europeanones like Glastonbury, Oxegen and Sziget so we have high expectations and gotta say Bonnaroo was friggin sick. The greatest American shows for us to date and the audiences were ridiculous.

The Silent Disco set for us was amazing, everytime we took our headphones off you could just hear a tent full of people singing along acapella. We had immense fun then stayed around the silent disco with our friends Robbie and Amy before setting off to the Lunar stage to check LA Riots & Afrojack. We then proceeded to get lost and enjoy a wide wide area of whatever we walked across till a sunrise bedtime.

The saddest thing about Friday was not being able to see Les Claypool but instead hearing him in the distance as we set up on the Lunar Stage. The Lunar Stage was amazing though, it had a 20 ft video wall and a ridiculous sound system with a sound engineer who paid immense attention to detail.  Pretty much the best sounding system we’ve played on in a long time. We started out playing to about 20 mates and ended playing to a few thousand. We packed our stuff and went to catch Chromeo and Daryl Hall…. it was like being transported back to see some genuine sick ass 80s band, the crowd was huge and the whole band were loving it, it’s so easy to get into it when the people playing the music look like they are enjoying themselves. Vocoders galore, loved it. Then Bassnectar, funkin raw ass wickedness, dubstep, beats, really wumpy sick bass had thousands going mad for it, we then  hung around to watch LCD Soundsystem which was also fucking ace.

I haven’t seen them in ages but was reminded how astonishingly good a band they are. I heard they had brought in their own soundsystem for the stage and the sound powerful without being painful. Mid way through a naked dude ran onto the stage but was gathered up by security before doing too much damage, he was carried out dick  downwards.  LCD ended with a sick cover of Empire State of Mind.

Not imaging it could get any better Saturday turned out to be even better. Not only did we get to play again but they gave us another slot on the Lunar Stage right around midnight. Deadmau5 even came and watched our second set before donnin the electro mouse head and playing his 2 hour set next door. His live show is amazing, the sync work in the lights and AV with his music and helmet is off the top future shit. Great. We then went to see our  the Disco Biscuits play a sunrise set, their 2nd or 3rd of the festival. After that I went to see Danny Howells playing 3 -4 hour sunrise set. We  then proceeded once again to do random ass fun shit till the sun was well up and it was evidently time to go to the airport.  Today we playing a special set at the Webby Awards.
