Soundbytes 6 : Superstars ft. Nullsleep & Bit Shifter

It's been a while between shows, but for those of you who have been waiting and wondering about the return of Melbourne's only regular chip night, not only is the wait over but we have an extra special lineup to thank you for your patience.
Soundbytes 6 is subtitled "SuperStars" for a reason, as we have 2 of the biggest names in the international chip scene coming to play just one Melbourne show, and they're playing it for us! If... you've seen "Reformat the Planet", if you have heard of Blipfest, you don't want to miss this show, as our headliners are none other than Bit Shifter and Nullsleep.
Supporting them are the cream of the local crop with
10K Free Men and Their Families,
cTrix,
Derris-Kharlan &
little-scale
playing this huge show.
Tickets are $10 Presale (plus a 30c booking fee) through http://www.trybooking.com/5104 or $12 on the door.
As you can see from the poster above - event will take place at La di da in little Bourke St, Melbourne and doors open at 7pm for an 8pm start! Feel free to say you're coming on our facebook event wall too (search "Soundbytes 6: Superstars")
If you have ever wanted to see some world class chip musicians in your own back yard, this is the time to do it.

Thematics Radio: Chipmusic special!
