In October 2006, Michelle Sternberger (aka ComputeHer) joined the group and is also a music co-writer. They use vintage computers, classic consoles and lo-tech synthesizers as instruments to create unique music inspired by video-game soundtracks and electronic music from the 1970s and 1980s. The energetic beats and fun retro aesthetic maintains a nostalgic atmosphere while delivering modern sound.
