Last year, we got a hold of a documentary called REFORMAT THE PLANET and caught wind of the 8-Bit music craze. Because of that documentary, and friends of ours who were part of this movement, we put together a showcase of great 8-Bit musicians in the abandoned Salvation Army space that was later converted into The Highball. We’re doing another screening of this fantastic documentary to prep our minds for another Datapop show. A show that is bigger, better and has twenty different artists performing for two nights! It’s going to be an epic party, and we would love for you to join us! We’re doing a FREE SCREENING of REFORMAT THE PLANET on Monday, and then the Alamo, along with New York City’s 8bitpeoples, 2 Player productions, and the people behind the Blip Festival have joined forces to create DATAPOP 3.0!
ABOUT REFORMAT THE PLANET: Monday, March 15 at Alamo S. Lamar
“…one of the best music documentaries I have seen in years.”
Brian C. Gibson, Filmschoolrejects.com
“…if you’re a fan of the music or a videogame enthusiast in general, than this movie is a must see.”
Eric Moro, IGN.com
“…a perfectly entertaining and legitimate look at a new musical trend…”
Scott Weinberg, Cinematical.com
BLIP FESTIVAL: REFORMAT THE PLANET is a feature length documentary which delves into the movement known as chiptunes, a vibrant underground scene based around creating new, original music using old video game hardware. Familiar devices such as the Nintendo Game Boy and Nintendo Entertainment System are pushed in new directions with startling results.
Using New York as a microcosm for a larger global movement, “…Reformat the Planet” maps out the genesis of the first annual Blip Festival, a four day celebration of over 30 international artists exploring the untapped potential of low-bit video game consoles. With floor-stomping rhythms and fist-waving melodies, trailblazers of the chiptune idiom descend upon Manhattan to pen a new chapter in the history of electronic music.

Check out the artists that will be joining us for this craziness! Keep in mind, this show is FREE so it will get crowded quickly each night! Be sure to get there early to catch all the awesome. Tuesday & Wednesday, March 16 & 17 at The Highball.

8PM :: The Mysterious H :: Austin, TX :: Website
The Mysterious H hails from Austin. He plays the keytar and rocks as hard as possible. Little else is known.
8:45PM :: Sievert :: Houston, TX :: Website
Space Captain Sievert is optimistic, epic, in-your-face space adventure on a deadly collision course with upbeat, fast-paced punk-ska! Equipped only with space goggles, dual gameboys, and a heroic sense of justice, Captain Sievert dives into danger headfirst for the good of mankind! In the first installation of Earth’s Data Pop Party, Captain Sievert fought off the Communist cosmonaut Vlad Vidmar, whose insane plot to play Tetris on loop and ruin the show was utterly defeated. What vile villainy lies in store for our hero this year? Stay tuned, cadets!
9:30PM :: Nullsleep:: New York, NY :: Website
Nullsleep creates powerful romantic pop using repurposed low-bit electronics in a relentless search for new ways to circumvent their limitations. Bittersweet melodies and driving, rhythmic pulses are coaxed out of small plastic devices to produce a surprisingly intense sound. In 1999 Nullsleep cofounded 8bitpeoples, a collective of artists interested in the audio-visual aesthetics of early home computers and video game consoles. He has since released a number of recordings through 8bitpeoples, Astralwerks, Aniplex and others.
10:15PM :: IAYD :: Corpus Christi, TX :: Website
Corpus Christi’s IAYD (I Am Your Destruction) uses the Nintendo Game Boy and the Nintendo Famicom to smash his way through space and the confines of classical training. Since 2007, he has been living vicariously through his handheld arsenal; making loud, powerful, and hard hitting electronic music, befitting his moniker.
11PM :: Hally :: Tokyo, JP :: Website
Often called the Japanese godfather of chiptune, as he is the first person to introduce this kind of music to Japan. He started the legendary chiptune portal site “VORC” in 2001, and nowadays is also active as a chip musician. His rock’n rolling heavy NES sound was often mentioned as one of the best acts of Blip Festival 2006/2007.
11:45PM :: Random :: Stockholm, SE :: Website
William Rickman (Stockholm, Sweden) started his chipmusic career in 2002 with the joke-band randomshitmotherburger, but quickly discovered that his interest in chip-style sounds was no joke. Branching off as Random, he started making music with the Nintendo Game Boy in 2004, quickly getting global recognition for his melodic and emotional compositions, expressed using minimal technical electronic gear. Since then, Random has performed live in thirteen countries across three continents, and he used to be a co-organizer of one of Europe’s finest chip clubs, Microdisko.
12:30AM :: Bit Shifter :: New York, NY :: Website
Armed only with two 20-year-old handhelds, New York City’s Bit Shifter leaves high-end computer music choking on his exhaust, bringing twice the rock with 0.002% of the processing power. Bit Shifter co-administrates the 8bitpeoples label, co-curates the annual Blip Festival, has released music on Hymen, 555, Mirex, and Astralwerks, and has performed over 150 shows worldwide.
1:15AM :: nordloef :: Karishamn, SE :: Website
nordloef takes his background in punk rock bands and his love for electronic music to create melodic, upbeat pop songs while at the same time squeezing out as much music as possible from the limited hardware of the Game Boy.
VISUALS :: Jean Y. Kim :: New York, NY :: Website
Jean Y. Kim makes low-bit visuals that try to integrate digital textures and conceptual daydreams using ‘laptop-alternative’ hardwares like the GP2X, Gameboy Advance, and PS2. Her influences include Bas Jan Ader, Clone High, and her VJ ‘big brother’ Paris. She is from Vancouver, BC but is currently based out of New York City.
VISUALS :: Omeros :: Portland, OR :: No Website
A new challenger appears.
—————————————-
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17 :: HIGHBALL BALLROOM
8PM :: Talk to Animals :: Baltimore, MD :: Website
Talk to Animals compliments her moody, beat-driven 8-bit & lo-fi soundscapes with a range of vocal styles. The resulting music is alternately frenzied, melodic, fierce and serene, always with an unstoppable energy, as precise as it is punk.
8:45PM :: Starscream:: New York, NY :: Website
Starscream is a two-piece, just-graduated-high-school, hurricane of Game Boy and drums. They make anthems for space, with drums like crushing black holes. They’ve just self-released their latest work, The Space Years and are currently exploring the Commodore 64.
9:30PM :: Henry Homesweet :: Ipswich/Lincoln, UK :: Website
Henry Homesweet takes Nintendo gameboys and drops them straight into a modern context, performing crunchy lo-fi techno and electro straight from the consoles, synced and mixed into one constant assult of mind candy. The listener is invited on a journey through time and space, to a musical void where styles and genres are not seperate entities confined by the performer, they are one. His live sets are assembled on the spot, directionless, unpredictable and effing bonkers.
10:15PM :: 8BK-ok :: New York, NY :: Website
8BK-ok (pronounced 8Bit Karaoke) is a power trio from NYC that blends catchy, pulse-pounding beats with songwriting from popular musicals. Raised on a steady diet of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Bit Shifter, Gameboy musician Fuckjazzforaminute and vocalists Leah Goldstein and Chris Blessitt have rocked sweaty dance parties all the way from New York to Nice. Joined here by talented vocalist Mr. F, 8BK-ok will raise the roof, lower the floors, and blow the doors off the mother of your puny minds.
11PM :: Sabrepulse :: London, UK :: Website
Sabrepulse is the undisputed godfather of the current 8-bit scene in the UK. Every year he organizes and performs at the Chiptune Alliance Tour where his breakbeats and sugar-coated melodies force kids into a frenzy at every stop.
11:45PM :: Je Deviens DJ en 3 Jours :: Nice, FR :: Website
Je Deviens DJ en 3 Jours (I become a dj in 3 days) gives a french touch approach of the Nintendo Gameboy consisted of heavy beats, distorted basses and girls dancing all over the night. He’s still virgin.
12:35AM :: Anamanaguchi :: New York, NY :: Website
Anamanaguchi is a four-piece melodic, chiptune punk band from New York City. Combining 8-bit synthesized sounds into a soundscape of raw guitars and live drums, they create a powerful, energetic sound that rests somewhere between organic and robotic. The band, started in 2003 by then 15 year old Peter Berkman, released their debut on New York net-label 8bitpeoples in 2006. Anamanaguchi’s new album, Dawn Metropolis was released in March ‘09 by Normative Music Company.
1:20 AM :: Trash80 :: Los Angeles, CA :: Website

He has published several songs online under the Creative Commons License (Attribution, NoDerivs, NonCommercial) under the Trash80 and Tresk banners. Whereas many Trash80 songs are ambient soundscapes featuring the use of Game Boy sounds, Tresk songs feature simple piano lines. Most prominently, Lamb’s music has been featured on the soundtrack of the Real-time strategy game Darwinia.
VISUALS :: Outpt :: New York, NY :: Website
outpt is Mary Ann Benedetto, a visual savage of the pixel variety. Performing live visuals in and around New York City, she has built a reputation for vibrant graphics and energetic sets. Her weapons of choice are the Game Boy Advance, GP2X, Processing, and her custom app Orbitr.

SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN – Saturday 3/6 and Sunday 3/7 at the Ritz
Advance tickets available here
There are two types of people in the world:
1. Those who love the classic musical extravaganza SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN
2. and those who haven’t got around to seeing it yet.
Hollywood’s last great masterpiece of entertainment, SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN is a heartwarming love story, a fabulous comedy, and a loving tribute to Hollywood history that is at once educational and hilarious.
And the songs. You cannot forget about the songs. Even the unlucky few who haven’t been graced with the film know the iconic “Good Morning,” “Broadway Melody,” and “Make ‘Em Laugh.” Even more so, the title song “Singin’ in the Rain” is engraved so deeply in our culture’s musical heritage that I bet you’re singin’ it in your head as you read these words. I know I am.
The dancing sensation Gene Kelly co-directs (with musical legend Stanley Donen) and stars alongside the energetic comic genius Donald O’Connor and the beautiful and talented Debbie Reynolds in this beloved and epic, glorious motion picture.
This Saturday and Sunday March 6 and 7, we’ll be having special brunch screenings of this movie in 35mm, the way the film was meant to be seen, on our biggest screen at the downtown Ritz theatre. In addition to the normal brunch menu, chef John Bullington has prepared some special delights available only at these shows!
Lockwood and Lamont 13.99
Seared T Bone topped with two fried eggs on a quarter Belgian waffle with fresh strawberries
Good Mornin’ 9.99
Strata of sourdough, fresh spinach, sundried tomatoes, wild mushrooms, manchego and asiago soaked in herbed egg cream and baked and a side of strawberries
So, if this film is one of your best loved Hollywood memories and you want to relive it in all of its splendor, or if you have always been meaning to see it but just never found the right chance, come out this weekend for a wonderful early-afternoon at the movies.
Bob Ray needs dough to fund his newest documentary TOTAL BADASS! Help an Austinite out and take a look at his KICKSTARTER campaign to donate!
Also, check out their fundraiser screening of the film, Thursday, March 18th at Alamo South Lamar. You can purchase tickets HERE!
We celebrate a lot of things at the Alamo Drafthouse. Exploitation cinema, good food, great beer, dance parties, film festivals, but most importantly independent film. We’ve helped a lot of baby films (and I mean that in a very non-patronizing way – I’m talking “baby” versus “gigantor studio films”) get off the ground with screenings, and with our amazing customers and film-junkies spreading news via word-of-mouth. Right now, we’ve got a filmmaker that needs a boost so he can get his documentary off the ground, and we though you’d be the perfect audience to direct this call too.
Bob Ray is trying to launch his newest film, a documentary titled TOTAL BADASS that chronicles the hilarious, crazy-ass writer/publisher/singer/weed-dealer/sex addict/Guinea pig enthusiast/dad/pirate radio host/raconteur and general man-about-town, Chad Holt, as he rides out the last six months of felony probation and subsequently must change his ways when a financial crisis befalls his estranged family.
Here’s the skinny, Bob’s trying to raise $5,000 IN THREE DAYS! He sure as hell can’t do it alone. Take a look at his KICKSTARTER campaign where you can donate, receiver perks, and spread the word. Hell, if you throw in enough cash, you’ll be Bob’s new executive producer!
About the filmmaker: Austin-based filmmaker Bob Ray’s previous work includes the award winning stoner-comedy feature ROCK OPERA, the critically acclaimed roller derby documentary HELL ON WHEELS, music videos for Grammy™ nominees Nashville Pussy, Riverboat Gamblers, Golden Arm Trio, and many more, as well as short films and ‘toons for Playboy and Turner Networks.
About the funding: “At this point, I have received no outside funding for this documentary. I am doing all I can to keep the budget as low as possible and I have a strong history of completing films with limited funds. However, the biggest logistical hurdle in filmmaking is still the cost.
Funding for this type of film is scarce to non-existent. The money-baggers of the filmmaking world show little interest in funding stories off the beaten path, particularly stories about the subculture, the underground and the weirdoes and freaks that keep life interesting.
Over the course of the past two years, we have managed to shoot and edit the film and have spent $7,293 in doing so. We have locked the picture and are now approaching the unavoidable expenses related to finishing the film. We’re currently raising funds to foot the bill for the expenses necessary for preparing a film for exhibition and broadcast, including: color correction, music licensing, audio mixing, printing, shipping, promotion, master to tape and related tasks.”
At Fantastic Fest this past year, only one film kicked our heads right off our shoulders only to then leap from the top of a 15 story building just in time to catch our heads before they hit the ground and then reattach them to our bodies with such ease and tenderness we never knew what hit us- DISTRICT 13: mother-f@#king ULTIMATUM!
Like it’s now cult-legendary predecessor DISTRICT B13, this reunion of writer Luc Besson (THE PROFESSIONAL, FIFTH ELEMENT) and on-screen ass-kickers Leito (David Belle) and Damien (Cyril Raffaelli), DISTRICT 13 ULTIMATUM serves up an endless display of some of the most impossible parkour action ever committed to film. A jaw-dropping spectacle that will leave you finding new, potentially deadly ways to go about your daily routine.
Films this volatile can’t be contained by the festival circuit, otherwise they just get angrier and angrier until they lash out in a violent cultural rage. So we’re doing out part to keep the beast at bay by releasing the film this Friday at the Alamo Ritz. See it or parish.
If you saw it Fantastic Fest fans, tell your friends!

As mealtimes go, Brunch is probably the most perplexing, especially considering the average Brunch occurs during the traditional time of Lunch. And yet anyone who enjoys Brunch at noon is keenly aware they are not eating Lunch. Furthermore, one can eat a sandwich for Breakfast by that same name, just as one may eat an omelet for Dinner. So what distinguishes this elusive fourth meal?
Shooting from the hip: it’s a class thing. That, or it has to do with social acceptance of mid-day alcohol consumption…though the two may not be mutually exclusive. Where else is it encouraged to enjoy a glass of champagne while the sun is up, let alone when it’s not New Year’s or at a Wedding? That’s why Brunch (as we know it) always falls on a weekend- we’re not wearing the blinders of workaday sobriety nor are we bound by the suffocating authority of the timecard. It’s not a meal of sustenance, it’s a meal of redemption! A small reward of luxury to celebrate the weekly wind-down of the grindstone. And it’s where you can have French toast dipped in creme brulee and feel GREAT about it.
It’s been a little over a year now since we introduced the special Alamo Weekend Brunch Menu, available during all shows on Saturday and Sunday before 2pm. Any show- whether it’s ALICE IN WONDERLAND in 3D or I WAS A TEENAGE FRANKENSTEIN. In addition to the first-run fare, we offer up exceptional one-time-only Brunch events for the absolute Best in day-off luxuriating!
Check out what’s heading your way in the coming weeks:
Brunch @ the Alamo: SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN – March 6 & 7 at the Ritz Ticket Here
For this rare 35mm screening of one the most beloved Golden-Era Hollywood musicals to ever hit the silver screen, Alamo executive chef (and SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN fanatic) John Bullington has prepared some additional delights available only at these shows!
Lockwood and Lamont 13.99
Seared NY strip topped with two fried eggs on a quarter Belgian waffle with fresh strawberries!
Good Mornin’ 9.99
Strata of sourdough, fresh spinach, sundried tomatoes, wild mushrooms, manchego and asiago soaked in herbed egg cream and baked and a side of strawberries!
LA DANSE – THE PARIS OPERA BALLET – March 21, 27 & 28 at the Ritz Tickets Here
In this lyrical and beautiful film, vérité auteur Frederick Wiseman turns his camera on the Paris Opera Ballet.
“Frederick Wiseman’s astoundingly beautiful documentary, has sumptuous delights to satisfy every balletomane…The unobtrusive camerawork and sensitive editing add to the resplendent images that illustrate the fragility and ephemeral nature of dance.”
John R. Killacky, San Francisco Chronicle
You’ll see a montage of the maintenance staff painting walls, buffing armrests, and picking up litter, then a rehearsal of a contemporary ballet danced by a man and a woman, then a scene featuring the director of the Paris Ballet working out the benefits that will be provided for certain donor levels, then a performance of a classical ballet featuring over 20 dancers. These scenes are not connected in any particular way, other than the fact that, seen together, they provide a total portrait of this ballet company. Only available for Brunch enjoyment!
Jazz Brunch: WOODY ALLEN’S SLEEPER with The Jazz Pharaohs Live! – April 4 at the Ritz! 
For this inaugural Jazz Brunch outing, we’ve chosen his 1973 “Classic Woody” comedy SLEEPER. Allen plays Miles Monroe, a jazz clarinetist and health food store owner who gets cryogenically frozen for 200 years, only to awaken in a seemingly Orwellian dictatorship – a non-stop, jazz-infused roller-coaster of madcap misadventures, brazen innuendo and classic Allen one-liners ensues.
Enjoy our special Alamo brunch menu and a pre-movie live set by Austin’s finest Jazz quartet headed up by clarinetist Stanley Smith, The Jazz Pharaohs!
A great way to start your day, so raise a glass and toast to the delights of champagne, cinema and time off work!

Last year, we got a hold of a documentary called REFORMAT THE PLANET and caught wind of the 8-Bit music craze. A year later, we still totally love it! Before The Highball was The Highball, it was an abandoned Salvation Army (and before that, a non-abandoned Salvation Army!). In that abandoned space, during SXSW 2009, we put up a stage, a couple of screens, and a bar, and we had our first DATAPOP show! Digital musicians from near and far plugged in their modified game boys and sound boards and other noisy gadgets to amps, and they made that abandoned Salvation Army into a PARTY! Three days later, that place still reeked of beer and cigarettes and sweat. Thanks Datapop!
We got to relive that magic (minus the beer and cigarette smell) again in November, in the no longer abandoned space (with a much nicer look!) for the Databeez Tour, but we’re doing it one more time WITH FULL FORCE! This SXSW season, we’re doing a FREE SCREENING of REFORMAT THE PLANET on Monday, and then a two day long after party! The Alamo, along with New York City’s 8bitpeoples, 2 Player productions, and the people behind the Blip Festival have joined forces to create DATAPOP 3.0! Now in it’s third installment, Datapop will transform the Highball into a unique cultural hot-spot featuring sets by 15 international 8-bit artists on a full concert stage with professional light and sound system.
Confirmed artists for this year include:
Anamanaguchi (Musician – New York, NY)
Bit Shifter (Musician – New York, NY)
8BK-ok (Musician – New York, NY)
Hally (Musician – Tokyo, JP)

A film and music in one. You can’t go wrong! REFORMAT THE PLANET screens Monday, March 15th at the Alamo South Lamar, and DATAPOP 3.0 is going on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 16th & 17th at The Highball. Be there or be square.

Stand-up comedy icon Patton Oswalt has been bringing a movie around Los Angeles, showing everyone he knows a new discovery.
Television-insanity pioneers Tim and Eric are just two of the many converts, so enthused about the film that they hosted its Los Angeles premiere last year.
Oswalt and Tim and Eric are some pretty funny guys, definitely “hip” to the strange side of our culture’s funny bone. What deranged masterpiece could get these people so excited?
A little film called BIRDEMIC: SHOCK AND TERROR, what some are calling a “romantic thriller,” others a “horror film,” and still others a “comedy” of the TROLL 2 variety.
Here’s how writer/producer/director James Nguyen describes BIRDEMIC:
“A platoon of eagles & vultures attack the residence of a small town. Many people died. It’s not known what caused the flying menace to attack. Two people managed to fight back, but will they survive BIRDEMIC?”
The film is loosely based on an Alfred Hitchcock movie, but don’t sell it short as simply a suspense film. Think of it more like THE BIRDS meets THE ROOM, and you’ll get a picture of what’s going viral in LA.
First of all, you have to see the trailer:
I know, I know, you’re pretty excited. Well, ladies and germs, we’ve arranged to show BIRDEMIC next week. That makes us the third theatrical screening of the film in the world. On Tuesday, March 2, we’re showcasing BIRDEMIC at 7:00pm.
That’s not all, either. Thanks to the very good people at SEVERIN FILMS, we will have a Q&A with director Nguyen and some special guests from the film, and we will feature a display of props and costumes from the movie as well.
You’ve got to come see what Vice Magazine calls the “New Best Worst Movie Ever.”
Get your tickets now for what promises to be one of the most thrilling events of the season.

Our new spring specials are out and they are tasty! Pared down from eighteen ideas offered by our crack team of chefs from all locations we bring to you five film inspired creations for the next six weeks or so:
The biggest film of the spring looks to be Alice in Wonderland, so add a fourth dimension to your experience by ordering the WHITE RABBIT & TWEEDLE DUMPLINGS, a hot bowl of rabbit and delicious dumplings with our own re-imagining of the classic chicken dish full of fresh vegetables and oyster mushrooms.
Nothing says EAT ME, DRINK ME more than your own mini tea party. The only possible reason you might want to hold off on our exquisite poppy
seed meyer lemon glazed cake is if you think the seeds might show up on a random drug test, so sorry we can’t offer the real thing. Our warm tea cake is in a sweet meyer lemon glaze with a dollop of sour cream and your choice of hot tea.
Another big hit this spring will be the remake Clash of the Titans. For that we are going to take you to the top of Olympus with our LAMB OF THE GODS. Three lamb chops are grilled and served with thick minted greek yogurt and a fried artichoke heart, chilled orzo salad with grilled zucchini. We also celebrate the Kraken by offering his favorite taste of the sea, oven roasted CRAB CAKES served with lemon caper aioli.
Our last special is one sure to make the permanent menu. THE KICK-ASS SANDWICH! It is comprised of spicy seared tofu, marinated sweet carrots, daikon, sunflower sprouts, red onions, green peppers, fresh jalapenos, and sambal mayo on a toasted baguette.
Come in and get them while they are here because its going to be summer soon, and on to Iron Man!
