080808

While most of the world will be glued to the tube for Olympics opening night, Liberty Lands Park will gather some of the most daring athletes from the world of 8-bit noise-making. At the 080808 fest in Northern Liberties, 8GB, Animal Style, Auto Da Fe, Nullsleep, Cheap Dinosaurs and MinusBaby will pound out crafty digital beats using retro and obsolete video game consoles from your childhood and call it music. It’s topped off with visual stimulations provided by No Carrier and the Hacktory’s resident artist, VBLANK.
