Halloween eve and we have an announcement, but on who, it's a mystery. You've heard her bleepbloops coming from the shadows. There's lore about the legendary chiptune empire she built but it would be impossible to feel her greatest glitches, unless: Please welcome Muzak Efron to Boston Bitdown!

Ready for a night ride? Let Snakes take the wheel. This 8-bit synthwave warlock brings out the sexy, brooding, neon to your heart. This Atlanta boy is slithering up to Boston Bitdown equipped with his ruby keytar & jean jacket. Sit back and let the smokey synth take over.

Making one last stop delivering their 2nd EP tour, Goof Goblin: Enter the Pizza Verse, these queer, trans, rage-filled Brooklyn Game Girlies are coming to Boston Bitdown to stir carnage and look hot! They're punk, nu-metal, and most importantly #CHIPTUNE!
