8-Bit gen's guests from 2006
In the Summer of 2006 the stars exploded and the mountains crumbled when 8-Bit Genocide took place at Load of Fun Studios in Baltimore, MD. JD and Chris of E.S. spent the last bits of their sanity putting together the event and in the end all was very much worth it. Five bands, three artists, and countless games shook the earth that night. Everyone had an amazing time and the turn out was much higher than we had expected. We tallied over 130 attendees! There was much drunken rocking, antics, and fun and even OC Remix's podcast came and interviewed all of the bands after the show. We were also happy to have the Play Video Game Music Documentary team come out and film all band performances for their project. All in all, the entire show went over with a perfection that we could barely believe.

Great job. thanks for everything who attended and whoever drew a big penis on my car with street chalk, i'm thinking really bad thoughts about you. And although I don't know who you are...
