Free chiptune show outside of PAX Friday night photo

Last year at PAX, Fighter X, Circles and other members chiptune artists held a small chiptune concert right outside the front doors of the Seattle Convention Center. The performance was free, all they asked was for a bit of your time to see what chiptune music was all about.

Well they’re back this year and planning to rock out again! The concert is called Lo-Tek Resistance and will be going down at 6:00PM on Friday. We caught some of the performance last year and the guys put on a really good show. No doubt this year’s will be just as good.

I remember seeing a bit of this last year. I had no idea about it, so it seemed like a cool spontaneous chiptune show, and it was really cool.

I remember that. It was pretty cool for 5 minutes.

That sounds like a knock, but it's not. They're not exactly performing, so it's hard to just stare at a bunch of guys sitting on their butts tweaking some tech for more than a song or two.

This went awesome! 12 people played throughout the night. 2 were just random dudes who had thier gameboys ready and jumped in. Zen Albatross killed it!! We had to move spots three times! A lady cop on a segway was jamming out watching us(that one was kinda odd really)
