Getting To Know 8static: An Interview With Jake B

By Jarret Redding

A look inside Philly's monthly chiptune concert.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

For those that didn’t make it, April’s 8static was awesome!  We were able to catch up with Jake B (Event Coordinator) after the show and ask him questions about 8static.  If you’re interested in seeing more shots from the show you can check out Ben Mason’s Flickr gallery and MTB’s YouTube page.  Also be sure to check out the 8static website for more details on the show.  8static is a monthly event, so if you missed it this month make it a priority to get their in May.
