8 Bit Weapon In British Newspaper "The Guardian"
A great article on Vintage Sound Chips is up at The Guardian.

Here is a quote from us: "You can't get the gritty synthetic sound of a Commodore 64 anywhere else in the electronic world. You can't get the phat haunting bass of a Nintendo Famicom triangle wave anywhere else either. Each machine has its own distinct sound and personality."

Happy New Year Everyone!
This year I will be releasing a new album! I don't have a set date yet, but I will let you know when I do. I have a handful of songs on my Game Boy that I've been working on and they just need some tweaking before I am ready to record them.

Also, I have been writing songs with 8 Bit Weapon as an official member and it's been a lot of fun. In the previous years I was only helping Seth out for live shows. At the time I was not contributing to the song writing, but now I am writing half of the new songs with him. I hope everyone will be pleasantly surprised with what we have to release. I think together we will have some great songs for everyone. Once we write a few more we will be releasing an album together, stay tuned.

So 2 albums this year! Yay!

I hope you all have a great year and I will talk to you soon.

ComputeHer Featured on CD Baby!
Hello Everyone. CD Baby is featuring my album, "Data Bass" on their home page!

Check out CD Baby's review of "Data Bass" below or go see for yourself here.

Forget electronic music, here's computer pop. While the bulk of the initial appeal lies in the chip tunes' ability to conjure up lazy summer days spent getting Mario past the Koopa Troopas, this lady is pretty smart about it; there are some stand-alone songs here. The digital songstress, known only as "Michelle," has deconstructed tons of sounds you remember from such classic gadgets as Speak'n'Spell, the ol' Commodore 64, Atari 2600, and the original gray NES Nintendo (and Game Boy!), and pieced them all together into a veritable symphony of nostalgia through robot pop songs. Sure, it's entertaining for those of us who remember what 8-bit graphics looked like (...especially those of us who might just have an ancient stack of ColecoVision and Atari cartridges waiting for us at home at the end of the day... ahem...), but these are great little pop tunes ready for anyone ready to dance.
