Local band that uses a VCS at the heart of their music, VERY excited to see live

 

I just bought a musician friend his first VCS & Synth Cart, modding him with a 1/4" output next week:)

 

Anyone else know of bands using an Atari?

The Sword doesn't use any Atari equipment, but their 2010 album Warp Riders has a graphic design that should be familiar.

Of course, there's Paul Slocum's band Tree Wave:

Then there's Crystal Castles, who are named after the arcade game. I don't know if they use any real Atari sounds, but they do play chiptune.

Yup, Cabana EP available in AA store, Paul Slocum, author of Synth Cart!

I'm quite sure Yo Gabba Gabba and The Aquabats use 2600s - at least emulating the TIA - in their music, along with Pokeys, SIDs, and the NES audio chip.

8 Bit Weapon use a 2600 in some of their songs:

8-Bit Weapon was provided an 800XL about 2 years ago. Unknown if they've used it yet for Pokey audio.
