Live Music Line-up Announced
We
have a tremendous music presentation this year, chip music artists
8 Bit Weapon &
ComputeHer are
bringing their Disko Apocalypse tour to CGE! If you are not
familiar with these two and their music, they use vintage computers &
classic consoles as their actual instruments. They craft bleeps and
blips of 8-bit bliss into modern electro pop!
With them come an CGE exclusive bonus: fellow chip music artists
Bud Melvin &
Crashfaster! Bud Melvin is
known for his rock style with a twist: a powerful combination of vocals,
Game Boy and banjo! Crashfaster is a master of electro/idm beats and
sinister melodies.
The musical mayhem doesn't end there, either. You will also be treated to game rock band Decendants of Erdrick. Decendants of Erdrick are an exciting 5-piece classic game music cover band out of Austin TX. They will be rocking the house both days at the 2010 event!
To get more information about bands, their tour dates, YouTube videos, free mp3 samples etc., check out the links highlighted above. The Disko Apocalypse tour is raising money to bring their 8-bit music to other parts of the country as well. If you would like to help make this possible they have great gifts/perks (mp3's, CDs, t-shirts, cell phones) to offer in exchange for your generosity. Please visit their Kickstarter page to make a donation!
AtariAge/Digital Press "Retro Rumble" at CGE 2010
AtariAge and Digital Press are proud to announce "Retro Rumble", a joint
venture aimed at joining retrogaming communities in a little spirited
competition as well as co-op play.
"Retro Rumble" will debut at Classic Gaming Expo 2010 on July 31st. The
AtariAge and Digital Press exhibit areas will be mirror images with
plenty of the great products you'd expect, but between the two booths
will be a gaming area where various tournaments and challenges will be
hosted throughout the 2-day event.
Are you the king of the road in Indy 500? Can you fend off the
competition in a round robin Warlords tournament? Are you a better Mario
in Mario Bros? Prepare to test your skills in an unforgettable union of
gaming communities.
