Burnkit2600 pay homage to one of their most influential bands with a psychedigital cover of The Beatles’ song, ‘Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!’ – one of John Lennon’s most playfully visual songs, and one of the group’s (and of course George Martin’s) most experimental productions.
This song was created expressly for the 8-BIT OPERATORS 2009 tribute compilation ‘Wanna Hld Yr Handheld’. 8bitoperators.com/beatles
The video was made with archival footage supplied by the Internet Moving Images Archive in association with Prelinger Archives. archive.org
Happy Birthday, John Lennon!
Bent Festival 2009
April 29, 2009
We rocked a new set at this year's Bent Festival. In addition to the normal plethora of gear, Justin and Thom have fallen hard for Gameboys. Justin has been digging deep into LSDJ and Thom into DS10. This year I decided to simplify my setup with a solitary C64 using Mssiah. The material will continue to develop, but as it matures expect a new album from Burnkit2600.
Burnkit2600 has completed a set of all new material for the 2008 Bent Festival sponsored by the Tank. The songs are a testament to the power trio, though through the off kilter filter of circuit bending and chip tunes. Come check us out April 26th as we close out the festival.
