APOLOGY:
The CD's I gave away on August 2nd, has a wrong listing. I realized it now. Track Nr.9 is missing. It is called Howling. All the rest are numbered correctly!
Ok just to stress, the reason I got into 8bit music is not to be different/novel/indie but because I like the way that 8bit music and its scene is unpretentious and void of all airheaded superiority from other forms of indie music and rock and roll. It's not so serious. It is there to be enjoyed. So if you like my music cause it's "sooo totally indie", and even ME, just because the music is different or I'm "cute" or whatever, this is not what I want. I hope you understand. I don't want this to become a scene thing. I'm not the next Crystal Castles.
I use LSDj and MuddyGB running on Gameboys.
For Bookings send me a message on Myspace or email me at sparkyboygb@gmail.com. Also if you want to chat on MSN, send me a message on Myspace and I'll give you my MSN adress. :P

Also do swing along to Shotbeak my twin bro's electronic project! Head over to Sparkyboy Electro
for my now defunct Electro Rock project also. See you!
hehe thanks sparkyboy :) bigmouth is a cover of the original song by a band called the smiths, you should check the smiths out if your into post-punk/indie as they really are a unique band :) i really enjoyed the last 2 releases and it'll be interesting to see how your cover art for pyroxysm turns out :p
hey dude shot for checking us out.....to answer your questions requires an oddly large amount of time and space but i'll do my best....I (Cleo) live in Port Elizabeth and Ian lives in Howick in KZN which is very very far away well if your walking. so we are not really based anywhere as such, as for synths we use korg i use a korg micro x and Ian uses a little midi contorller 20 something keys nothing fancy he's kinda poor so yeah it's not technically a synth but he imports it all into Reason 3 and plays around with it all in there...hope i have been of some help if you need more info please shout i like talking to people (as you may have guessed) so no question is too random...now my turn. do you use an acctuall gameboy to make your music or am i just being silly?? and how do i get into doing what you do coz i'm expanding and i really enjoy 8 bit music and chip tunes....thanks again
yea but im more on the shy side lolomfg dude now i gotta go to some stupid b-day party fer some chick i dont even no lol grrr i really donta wanna go :( i guess ill ttyl again lol
