Ground Kontrol is pleased to announce the return of Micropalooza, Portland's first 2-Day Chiptune Music Festival! Chiptune music is made using video games such as the the Atari 2600, the Nintendo Gameboy and NES, as well as 8-bit computers such as the Commodore C64. Though more popular in Europe, Chiptune music is quickly catching on in the US.
Ground Kontrol has been hosting 8-bit musicians for years, including Micropalooza I and the International Chiptune Resistance tour. This year's Micropalooza features musicians from all over, including Sweden! There were too many artists to fit on one bill, so we made this year's Micropalooza a 2-day event.
