MTV News Intern Steven Roberts attended the Blip Festival and filed this report over at MTV's YouRHere blog (which is all about concert write-ups, you know).
He starts:
The Blip festival wasn't your typical concert. Instead of a stage crew setting up the bands instruments or a DJ spinning records, artists literally bought Gameboys to hook up to a mixer. I wasn’t sure that they would be able to create much of a show.
Granted, creating music with a Gameboy or a Nintendo is impressive, but I wasn’t sure it would be aesthetically pleasing. Alex Mauer didn’t do much to change my thoughts.
But things got much better! Read more at the link above. And for more on the Blip Festival, which runs all weekend in New York City, go to the official site.
