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.

Finally, we get to my absolute favorite concert at this year's MAGFest -- MASTER BOOT RECORD. AmigaBill and crew, including @davet@mastodon.social, had seen them before and raved about it. This show did not disappoint. It wasn't just the Workbench 1.3 startup screen before the show, or the Commodore computers they had on stage, or the Amiga and C64 game, demo, and cracktro footage they shows in the background. The music was mind-blowingly awesome. Seriously, if you ever get a chance to see them live, do it. For now, grab their stuff off of Bandcamp and play it real loud: https://masterbootrecord.bandcamp.com/ #MAGFest #MAGFest2025 #Commodore #Amiga #Music

Three CRT monitors on a table, Mobile Suit Gundam model on top of the center. Under the left and right monitors are Commodore computers.

A large screen behind a stage. On the screen is a hand holding an upside down floppy disk that reads "Amiga Workbench V1.3".

A three-piece band performs to a large crowd in front of a screen showing footage from the Amiga game Lemmings.

A person in a hoodie works the keyboard of a Commodore commputer on a stage, with two CRT monitors in front of them.

There were a bunch of fursuiters performing music in the hallway jam pods this year. I caught one set where a group performed Megalovania from Undertale. Later, I saw Key the otter and Rhubarb the nidorino from Otter Chaos! performing with Scurrow. They closed their set with "Ana Ng" by They Might Be Giants. That set was pretty darn cool. Otter Chaos! posts on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@OtterChaosVGM, and Scurrow's albums are at https://ivemadetoomuchpasta.bandcamp.com/. #MAGFest #MAGFest2025 #Fursuit #Furry #Music #Pokemon

I'm very glad I'm totally caught up on the One Piece anime, otherwise Shao Dow's first song would have spoiled a great many things in the series for me. Also, a song about JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?!? Good grief. Check out his music on Bandcamp: https://shaodowmusic.bandcamp.com/ #MAGFest #MAGFest2025 #OnePiece #JoJosBizarreAdventure #Music

A man in a Monkey D. Luffy cosplay raps in front of a screen showing a Marine wanted poster with Shao Dow having a 10,000 Berry bounty.

A man in a bit less of a Monkey D. Luffy cosplay looks upon a screen containing a frame of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders.

I found out that the musician Mere was going to be at MAGFest because of the stickers posted on the sticker boards! I did not get a chance to see him perform, sadly. You should listen to Mere's music! It's real good! https://merenotilde.bandcamp.com/ #MAGFest #MAGFest2025 #Rabbit #Music

Several stickers. The middle one is of a pink bunny rabbit with headphones around its neck.

I hung out with AmigaBill and friends a lot this weekend. Here he is in a very cool Agent 47 cosplay. You should check out his Amiga Twitch stream if you haven't before: https://twitch.tv/amigabill #Hitman #Cosplay #MAGFest #MAGFest2025 #Commodore #Amiga

The Indie Arcade had a ton of games I hadn't played before! Oshi-Gokko, Guess Hue, Volleybird, and Dye Breaker were the ones I remembered to get photos of. #IndieArcade #IndieGaming #MAGFest #MAGFest2025

A tabletop arcade machine called Oshi-Gokko showing the winner screen. I was not the winner.

An arcade game called Guess Hue, with three large buttons colored red, yellow, and blue. I was the winner.

A standup arcade machine called Volleybird stating that Red Team Wins. I was red team.

A standup arcade machine called Dye Breaker. On the screen are two screenprinted frogs. The red one on the right is painted in more.

I caught the Mega Man DOS 1 & 3 speedruns at magFAST, which included 88bit on piano. The Mega Man DOS games didn't have any music, so 88bit played a song for each stage based on votes taken during donations. The story behind the development of the games was pretty cool, too! #RetroGaming #MegaMan #Speedrunning #MAGFest #MAGFest2025

A large screen showing the main menu for Mega Man DOS 1; a stage with several people and a piano; and a crowd of people watching.

Close up of a screen showing the six bosses of Mega Man DOS 3 within a Twitch stream.

The museum had two LANs set up for multiplayer DOOM and Quake. They were both pretty full every time I stopped by. #DOOM #Quake #RetroGaming #MAGFest #MAGFest2025

A mannequin demon in an orange robe stands in the middle of multiple tables. On the table in front of the demon there's a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. DOOM is running on the computer.

The Retro Museum was PC-tacular this time around. So many beige boxes showing off the best of the 80s and 90s IBM-PC compatible machines. #IBMPC #RetroComputing #MAGFest #MAGFest2025

A beige PC running Windows 95 with an Explorer window showing Duke Nukem 3D icons.

An NEC PC-9821 V12 running a shoot'em'up game.

A beige PC running a fortune cookie program that states "Your emotional ties aren't color coordinated with your suits."

A beige PC running a drawing program. On screen is a rabbit drawing asking "plastic bag...or bun bun? your life is yours"

As usual, I made a stop at the Retro Computer and Gaming museum. A lot of these I've posted about before, so I won't go into a ton of detail about what was there. The Atari Video Pinball system is interesting. The note states it was made to try and capture the lower-end of the market that couldn't afford a 2600, but dedicated consoles were going away by the time of its release.

Donkey Kong skateboard decks, a Genesis Mini and a normal Genesis, Mario quiz cards, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 poster, and a Sonic figurine.

Well looks like a botched Pixelfed migration made me lose all my followers on my old account (issue is here: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4858). I'm going to start posting MAGFest 2025 photos on my new Pixelfed account at @TopazRabbit@pixel.tiggi.es starting very shortly, so if you're interested in seeing them, follow me there! I'll retoot a few of them on here as well. #MAGFest #MAGFest2025
