Since forming Cheap Dinosaurs following the demise of his previous band Chromelodeon, Dino Lionetti and his bandmates have been broadening the chiptune horizons with epic, spacey, transformative jams. They are able to create expansive soundscapes despite challenging themselves by using potentially restrictive tools like a Game Boy. We sat down with Dino Lionetti and Chipocrite, a.k.a. Paul Weinstein, who is performing at North Star Bar this Saturday at 8static and plays bass in Cheap Dinosaurs, to talk game soundtracking, backing tracks, why chiptune is the punk of the electronic genre, and much more HERE.
