Do you love yourself some bleeps and bloops? I know that I do and one of the coolest things about past PAX events was coming across chiptune performers plying their craft outside the Convention Center. But this year I won't have to wander aimlessly in the hopes that I'll come across it, as PAX Prime is bringing the players indoors to perform for the first time.
On Saturday, PAX attendees will be able to check out the Chiptune Music Showcase at Jamspace in the Convention Center from 1-4PM. Artists performing will include Fighter X, Spamtron, Knife City, SeanBad and the totally awesome Zen Albatross.
I will definitely be checking out this event at PAX. Will you?

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Fun fact: Knife City is the side project of Luke Silas, the drummer of Anamanaguchi! It's really good stuff!
Also don't forget there's also a chip music panel being hosted by members of Crunchy Co (the guys who normally jam outside the expo each year) - Friday at 11AM in the Wolfman Theatre.
