MASTER BOOT RECORD + arottenbit // AUSTIN MAY 22
Details
Get ready for a turbo-charged night of cybernetic metal mayhem as MASTER BOOT RECORD teams up with arottenbit for a loud, glitchy takeover at The Far Out Lounge in Austin. Doors open at 7pm, and the show promises a wild collision of heavy riffs, retro computing vibes, and high-voltage live energy.
MASTER BOOT RECORD, or MBR, has built a cult following by fusing crushing metal with chiptune textures, demoscene aesthetics, and a distinctly futuristic-meets-vintage computer world. Think pounding drums, shredding guitars, and a sonic backdrop that feels like a boss battle inside an old-school computer system.
Beyond the music, MBR is known for a full-band live experience that leans hard into visual nostalgia: Commodore 64 flashes, Amiga-era energy, and imagery inspired by videogame classics and digital underground culture. It’s part concert, part pixel-powered fever dream.
The project has released a deep catalog of albums, earned major attention on Bandcamp, and grown from a niche internet phenomenon into an internationally touring force. Fans of metal, synth-soaked experimentation, and game-world aesthetics will find plenty to love here.
And with arottenbit on the bill, the night is set to stay in fast, fierce, and futuristic territory from start to finish. Expect a packed room, tons of energy, and a unique Austin show that blends underground music culture with heavy digital attitude.
