8-Bit Ninjas
8-Bit Ninjas happened by accident. The result of Andy Cowley, up until this point a rock, indie and folk drummer, happening across Alice in Videoland's 'Outrageous!' on his Creative Zen. Where this album came from, no-one is sure, but sparked an interest deep inside his twisted mind. Through AiV, he happened across Thermostatic and from then into the wonderful world of chiptunes. Once he'd got his ears around a few more such artists, the vision was clear in his mind... He must contribute to the this new world of recycled electronica.
