Yesterday I discovered an awesome rock band from New York: Red Vox.
I knew that the most awesome The Cybertronic Spree played MAGFest 2025, and I explored what other bands played the event.
It was my delight to find and listen to Red Vox.
Their Bandcamp account is: https://vine.bandcamp.com
They also go by the names of Vine and Davy's Grey.
Please check them out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.
I did purchase their 144 track discography for only $12. Totally worth it.

The theme for next year's #MagFest has been released. If I remember correctly, MagFest 8 (2010) was #Megaman themed, so doing a #MegamanX theming for 2026 is good.

Grateful to everyone on staff, performing, hanging out and vibing, and of course anyone who still makes chiptune music to this day!
It may be early but consider if you want to apply to Chipspace in 2026! Be a Chipspace Hero!

Day 1 Thursday open mic contributors - the heart and soul of Chipspace is that it is open to ALL chiptune composers to share their work with the community in what is very likely the LARGEST gathering of Chiptune artists in the United States
