Welcome!

Hey there fellow chippers.
I'm here to spread the 8-Bit love here in South Africa. I hope this wonderous blog will be insightful. New developments, artists, gigs and such will be displayed here for your viewing pleasure.

South Africa, however, is merely a new born in this 8-Bit scene, well... more at the conception stage. That's why it's so exciting. Everywhere I'm seeing new vibes, new fans, new songs and I think with the right exposure could catapult a scene here in South Africa.

The best news any fan of lo-fi chiptune goodiness could get is that Anamanaguchi is coming to South Africa in early August. Yes, you heard right, the heroes and instigators of many chiptune fans are coming to South Africa.

2 Gigs in Cape Town. 1 and 2 August. Venues are to be announced; and one 1 gig in Joburg on 3 Aug, venue also to be announced. I'm going to both Cape Town gigs (and I've got a funny feeling one those gigs will be in Stellenbosch). But don't quote me on that.

In coming posts I will review some local 8-Bit talent, post some relevant chip news, and then some.
Stay tuned!

Cheers,
Niel (Sparkyboy)
