    Aalborg, DK 072309

    Chip musicians were arriving all day on Friday like flies attracted to shit. Luckily there was a very large spider present to capture us all (see picture)

    Sweden is well represented here amongst performers and attendees. Jonas from Microdisko (the best drinking partner ever,) had helped promote the event. He found us at the hostel in the early afternoon and we headed over to the venue for sound checks. Another nice surprise: Divag, who I had met years ago at a show in Paris made it up here as well with his girlfriend. Psilodump showed up during sound check as did Covox.

  • Weezer: The 8-bit Album

    Pterodactyl Squad just released an 8-bit tribute to Weezer featuring the likes of Bit Shifter, Anamanaguchi, Rabato, Tugboat, nordloef and more…

    “Do you remember that dream you had, where the sound chips from the beloved games consoles of your youth all got together and formed a Weezer tribute band? Yeah? No? OK. That dream is about to come true whether you had it or not.

    weezerThe songs on this compilation have mostly been created using original videogame hardware running home-brew software, and vary radically in style, from minimal compositions to 8-bit inspired full band performances. Pterodactyl Squad proudly presents the music of Weezer as you have never heard it before.”
