Dawn Metropolis (2009)


When people look back at chiptunes in ten years, this will be one of the first albums to come up.

The concept of using a Game Boy or Nintendo onstage is inherently absurd. We’re trying to put that weird juxtaposition of a Nintendo in a rock band and try to make it work. We aren’t trying to be like, “Haha, look at this! We’re doing Nintendo shit onstage!” A lot of artists in the 8-bit scene don’t really take themselves super-seriously. When you see someone holding a Game Boy onstage and treating it like this rock instrument—even though it is—to an outsider, they see that as something that is laughable almost.
