Cheap Dinosaurs is a Philadelphia based prog-rock group that combines poppy melodies with dark, psychedelic chip music. Harnessing the sound hardware of an original game boy, the group rides the fringe of the 8-bit music scene by mixing it with heavier and more organic soundscapes. Accompanying the group are visual artists NO CARRIER and ENSO, completing the experience with projections that run on various vintage hardware and other devices. Starting as the solo project of Dino Lionetti (ex-Chromelodeon) in 2007, the group has since grown into a full band (with members of animal style, Brown Recluse, and Store Cats) that has garnered a large and growing fan base out of philly.
