Knowing each other through being classmates, Peter Berkman and James DeVito formed the band in Chappaqua, NY after Berkman and his friends would learn how to create chiptune after discovering a Wired article discussing the chiptune scenes in Sweden and New York. The name “Anamanaguchi” came about from a member in one of Berkman’s former bands pronouncing gibberish in the style of Jabba the Hutt . The band first performed on January 29, 2006 at Cake Shop and through events such as Pulsewave NYC they formed a relationship with the netlabel 8bitpeoples and subsequently released their debut the EP Power Supply in August 2006. The track “Helix Nebula” was featured as the theme song of the former GamesRadar podcast TalkRadar.
