MAGFest Recap Round 2 -- Jammin' in JamSpace
Zen Albatross | 9:21 AM on 01.11.2009 3 comments


In addition to all of the great games you can play and amazing people you can meet, MAGFest is also a place for musicians to gather, network and play together on stage. A prime example of this is the newly-created JamSpace: A 24-hr jam room where anyone can pop in and play some tunes with fellow musicians, or just chill out and listen to the music.



Here's Joey "Animal Style" Mariano ringing in the new year at JamSpace with a celebratory display of chiptune goodness:



My band had the pleasure of playing in Saturday's Open Mic concert in JamSpace. Here's some video of our performance -- Featuring Shael Riley on vocals, Darrin 'Dreidel Bull' DeMarco on gitz, Devon 'Fukkaslut' Riley on bass and yours truly on Game Boy.

Part 1: 'Bits & Pieces' & 'Modular 12'



Part 2: 'Bank Holiday' & 'World's Worst Drum Programmer'



JamSpace isn't the only place where you'll find people jamming out at MAGFest. Here's some folks from OCRemix having an impromptu jam session in the hotel lobby:



Much more to come, including concert video from all four nights. Stay tuned!

See, this is why I'm impressed with what you bring home from MAGfest - it's not ONLY video games, its gamers bringing their talent to video games...and it's not on a plastic instrument. Very nice videos :)
