<h3><strong><strong>The Invisible Orange Presents MASTER BOOT RECORD</strong></strong></h3><h3><strong><strong>With AROTTENBIT Sleeper Ship</strong></strong></h3><h4>Saturday, May 9th, 2026</h4><h4>The Rickshaw Theatre</h4><h4>19+</h4><h4>Doors: 8:00pm</h4><p><br></p><h3>MASTER BOOT RECORD</h3><p>MASTER BOOT RECORD (aka MBR) is a project founded in 2016 by producer Vittorio D’amore mixing together heavy metal and synthesized electronic music.</p><p><br></p><p>Starting in 2016 releasing albums under the indie label Data Airlines has moved in 2018 to synthwave iconic label Blood Music to expand its audience to the electronic community. In 2019 MASTER BOOT RECORD settled with Metal Blade Records, the historic metal label based in Los Angeles to release the latest two albums “Floppy Disk Overdrive (2020)” and Personal Computer(2022)” helping the project to gain increased popularity worldwide. MBR has also produced the video game “VirtuaVerse” as well as its original soundtrack. VirtuaVerse was released in 2020 on all gaming platforms as well as Nintendo Switch, Xbox and Playstation.</p><p><br></p><p>The project as a live band increased their live activity in 2022 including live performing artists such as the guitar virtuoso and Ibanez endorser Edoardo Taddei at lead guitars and technical death metal drummer Giulio Galati.</p><p><br></p><p>MBR released 14 albums so far with multiple record labels and has been one of the most successful musicians on US digital distribution platform Bandcamp charting #1 in general charts several times. Because of that Bandcamp often featured the albums and made interviews directly with the artist.</p><p><a href="https://mbrserver.com/" title="https://mbrserver.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">mbrserver.com</a></p><h3><br></h3><h3>AROTTENBIT</h3><p>'Like Atari Teenage Riot playing some Melvins', they said.</p><p>From the violence of HARDCORE PUNK concerts to the heaviness of SLUDGE METAL, all the way to the hallucinatory state of certain dawns spent dancing at the worst TECHNO afterparties with a pounding bass.  In an opulent age where everything is consumed quickly, arottenbit blends genres using an obsolete tool, an old NINTENDO GAME BOY rescued from the trash. A children's toy, now used to awaken the nightmares of adults.</p><p>“If punk taught us that you don't need to know how to play an instrument to make music, today we learn that you don't even need to own a musical instrument to make music!”</p><p>From 70 to 240 bpm on a heavy and furious journey, encompassing all the influences that a metropolis can offer during its darkest nights.</p><p>Arottenbit is an experimental music project founded in 2008 in Milan by Italian sound engineer Alessandro "Otto" Galli. With a radical approach to electronic music, it blends chiptune, sludge metal, techno, and hardcore punk, transforming the Game Boy into a sonic weapon that obliterates any notion of nostalgia.</p><p>Since 2025, the live project has taken on the name AROTTENBIT DRUMS COMMANDO, featuring two drummers: Riccardo Nicoloso (SLUG GORE) and Edoardo Nicoloso (FULCI), brothers who alternate behind the kit to deliver a new level of devastating impact, further amplifying the power and physicality of the show.</p><p><a href="https://arottenbit2029.bandcamp.com/album/you-dont-know-what-chiptune-is" title="https://arottenbit2029.bandcamp.com/album/you-dont-know-what-chiptune-is" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">arottenbit2029.bandcamp.com</a></p><p><br></p><h3>Sleeper Ship</h3><p>Sleeper Ship is the solo project of Unleash The Archers guitarist Andrew Kingsley. Formed during the beginnings of the pandemic, the project was created as an outlet for Andrew's more pop/electronic/progressive ideas, with music ranging from dark horror movie inspired synthwave, progressive metal and rock, to arena AOR reminiscent of 80's groups such as Def Leppard, Van Halen and Journey. Sleeper Ship has released several singles over the last few years, and one EP "The Gateway" which is a fully modern Progressive Metal album. While firmly rooted in Andrew's heavy metal background, the project has something for everyone!</p><p><a href="https://sleepership.bandcamp.com/" title="https://sleepership.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">sleepership.bandcamp.com</a></p><p><br></p><h3><a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/909932344694887" title="https://www.facebook.com/events/909932344694887" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">RSVP on Facebook</a></h3><p><br></p><h3>Refund Policy</h3><p>No refunds, unless event is cancelled.
