We have old and new technology to thank for bringing XYCE together. Roel Heerspink and Tom Offringa formed their band over the internet after discovering they both had a shared love for melody and chip tunes, music made on ancient computers like the good old Atari 1040ST, Amiga 500, Gameboy and PC. What started off as a little "internet-thingy" has resulted in five albums and various gigs both here in The Netherlands and abroad in Japan, Germany, Belgium and France.
