    Has there been ANY news of the 3rd album?

    Joke answer: drops on 12/21/2012 and they'll play the release show on top of a Mayan pyramid
    Real answer: hopefully late next year but no promises

    And they still have the Queen album and the covers album to put out

    Welcome to 2012. A great deal of shit will be going down and coming out this year. If you want to stay privy, make sure you keep your ear on.

    For instance, we're in the studio right now finishing up the mixing of the Live Queen Show album (that's right, finishing!), so I don't have a lot of time to jackalack around.

    In the interest being brief, I have some quick announcements that should make some people happy. We've been summoned again by fancy fellows at A And G Ohio to bring pounds and pounds of fury to their lovely event, and who are we to ignore a summons from fancy fellows?

    MARCH
    10th - Cincinnati, OH - A And G Ohio ---- ALL AGES

    Another exciting gold nugget of awesome is that we have indeed been invited back to PAX East in Boston. It's going to be the most real. If you haven't already gotten your tickets, do so immediately. It will sell out soon. You don't want to miss this.

    APRIL
    06th - Boston, MA - PAX East ---- ALL AGES

    Many of you already know about this from our Facebook and Twitter machines, but The Deli Magazine in Nashville has, once again, put us in a violent alleyway knife-fight against quite a few really good up and coming bands around Nashville. Before you cast a vote, I encourage you to check out some of the bands on the list. Hell, you may find one that you like more than us. If so... vote the shit out of them! Remeber, voting ends today.

    We have many more things to announce and unleash in the coming months (like this), but you'll just have to wait and see.

    Don't give up.

    -Commander

    Mike, you were one of the most powerful beasts I've ever known. You will be seriously missed by all of us in The Protomen.

    That's like news, right?

    So I can go to their show!

    hey a heads up

    the act 2 album that's on amazon right now is a really really stripped down version, it's not the one that came out on release

    it's basically a jewel case and a tracklist, no lyrics or artbook

    CD-R Note: This product is manufactured on demand when ordered from Amazon.com.

    Looks like Amazon's started a system of burning cds and sending them out. Good idea for lowering costs, not so much for bands like The Protomen who have much more than the cd in their albums.

    It looks like it also costs less than they charge for the albums. Unless you're ordering from the zambooie or sound machine store, you can't expect to get the same thing.

    Well, at least as consolation I got to see Guitar Wolf perform a bizarre spoken word piece that was mostly him screaming "I love you" while beating up his guitar...

    Here's all of it though:
    Things are about to get the most real.

    On March 17th, we will be having a super awesome dance party in Nashville to celebrate the release of this action -

    MAVSPTPVPD-290x300.jpg

    Yep. A giant pallet of awesome landed in front of Murphy's house and after he hacked it open with a machete…this was the only copy still in one piece. We figured if we threw a rock-n-roll dance party…you guys could get drunk and help us glue them back together. We hate gluing stuff back together by ourselves. In fact, the only thing we hate more than gluing stuff back together by ourselves… is Cancer.

    That's right! If you're looking to put your Irish debauchery-bone to some good use on St. Patrick's Day/Night… while getting your copy of the limited edition Makeup And Vanity Set Presents: The Protomen picture disc vinyl… and dancing the night away with your favorite robot rockers, we've got good news for you. The party's proceeds are going to benefit the American Brain Tumor Association!

    We're thinking of calling it "The St. Patricks Day 'Fight Brain Cancer while Killing Brain Cells' Dance Party"

    If you don't think you can make it to the release party, don't freak out. Pre-Sale for the records starts NOW. As well as this new limited edition Commemorative 525SEA Cassette T-Shirt!

    525SHIRT-300x300.png

    Pre-Order the record and shirt separately, or as a super efficient combo.

    SUBJECT CHANGE!
    This next part is a super secret, so don't go spreading it around like the herp (you can spread it to hot girls, though... that didn't exactly come out like I wanted, but I hate deleting things, so I'll just keep going with this sentence that could have been avoided had I just worked up enough courage to use the backspace button). On our way up to Boston for PAX, we're stopping off in NYC to shoot a video for Light Up The Night (for reals). It's going to be one hell of a thing, and we're going to need the help of all those who want to hang out with us all day and make Hollywood (...or NY) movie magic. It's a daytime shoot on Sunday, April 1st (not fake). We're going to need 150 extras to bring some scripted thunder. The production will be automatically accepting the first 100 applicants and will be choosing the rest by headshots that we'd like you to submit. We aren't requiring head shots, but if you do, it sort of doubles your chances for getting some screen time (but maybe not. I'm terrible at math).

    Unfortunately, we don't have a unicorn that shits money, so all we can give you in exchange for your time is a free ridiculous Proto-show at the end of the day/night for everyone who is involved. And probably a great deal of terrible snacks of some variety.

    TO SIGN UP - send an email to the following address and state your name in the subject line and attach a photo of yourself (photo not required, just highly recommended) - protomenvideo@gmail.com

    Be aware that there may be age restrictions due to the shoot location, but we will inform you of all the details like age restrictions, shoot location, and suggested wardrobe, as soon as possible. All of said communication and details will come from the protomenvideo@gmail.com account.

    SORT OF SUBJECT CHANGE!
    As you probably have already guessed, because we're heading up the East coast to shoot this amazing video and play the super awesome PAX, we'll be making a few exciting stops along the way. Check out the following list (and don't start crying baby tears if you don't see your town listed, we've got a not so distant secret):

    MARCH
    10th - Cincinnati, OH - Great Wolf Lodge A&G *ALL AGES*
    17th - Nashville, TN - Brick Factory ---- 18+ (Cancer Dancer Party) *DJ SETS*
    25th - Asheville, NC - Emerald Lounge ---- 21+ ticket link coming soon.
    26th - Chapel Hill, NC - Local 506 ---- ALL AGES ticket link coming soon.
    27th - Richmond, VA - Kingdom ---- ALL AGES ticket link coming soon.
    29th - Teaneck, NJ - Mexicali Live ---- ALL AGES

    APRIL

    09th - Cambridge, MA - Middle East ---- 18+
    10th - Lancaster, PA - Chameleon Club ---- ALL AGES

    More April dates to be announced soon. Keep your eye on our TOUR page (for updated ticket links), as well as our Facebook and Twitter (for just general awesomeness).

    And last but not least, coming soon to a Compact Disc Player player near you... CLICK ME FOR EXCITEMENT.

    People on the streets.
