Regular readers of this site should be no strangers to the party jams of chiptune duo George & Jonathan. Last year they dazzled us with The Best Music (OSV’s best chip music album of 2010), and followed it up with a holiday bonus treat, The Best Christmas. Despite their recent hiatus in lieu of long-distance commitments, the duo’s latter half, Jonathan Baken, has been hard at work on his own material, as evidenced during his recent performance at NYC’s monthly chip music event Pulsewave along with two more solo acts, Knife City (Luke Silas, drummer of Anamanaguchi) and Danimal Cannon (Dan Behrens, lead guitarist of ArmCannon and Metroid Metal).
