Having thoroughly conquered Europe several times over in previous years, the UK’s 8Bit Alliance Tour will be invading American shores this March, featuring a stalwart confederation of chiptune artists and bands from both sides of the pond. New York chip-rock ambassadors Anamanaguchi and Starscream will be joined by UK dancehall kings Sabrepulse and Henry Homesweet, as well as low-bit glitch VJ’s Paris and Outpt for the month-long tour that kicks off on March 5th at Market Hotel in Brooklyn. From there, the tour continues hitting Philadelphia, Baltimore, DC, Richmond, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville and more, eventually delivering the coup de grace at Austin’s world-renowned South By Southwest music festival.
Check out the slick new tour website for artist bios and a complete list of cities and dates. Will you be catching any of these performances? If you’re seeing any of these acts for the first time, I’d suggest you get ready for one heck of a show.
