Kevy Martinez (Wizwars/The Kevyn Gnartinez Band) (Part 1): In this episode we speak to Kevy Martinez, an LA-based musician, promoter and organizer whose musical project Wizwars was well known throughout the SoCal chiptune scene. Kevy and I have had a long history together in chiptune, as I often traveled up to LA from SD and they traveled from LA to SD to play in shows together, and we've known each other for more than a decade. While Kevy initially made their name as a musician and performer, they eventually became best known for the organization 8BitLA and the Freq.Fest chiptune festival series that 8BitLA put on. This is part 1 of a 2 part series, and in this episode we dive into Kevy's history with music and chiptune, their first forays into performing, and eventually putting on the first Freq.Fest event. by What Happened to Chiptune?
