The second annual 8static Festival, which champions lo-fi electronic music and the creation of art and music using what has been considered old video game technology and computers, begins its 3-night run this evening at First Unitarian Church. The event coincides with the 6th anniversary of 8Static, the premier Philly monthly chip music event, and features 32 artists from around the world. This innovative and imaginative genre/scene ushers in an air of fun and includes some local artists in Cheap Dinosaurs, Void Vision, Animal Style, defiantsystems and Dain Saint, generating a thriving dance-oriented community for the next three nights with daily tickets running you $20 and 3-day passes going for $50. Get out to the Church, and embrace the innovation! First Unitarian Church, 2125 Chestnut St., Beginning at 6pm (THURS-SAT), $20-$50, All Ages – Michael Colavita
