    Attention:

    I keep singing Built to Last to myself but instinctively replace the phrase "built to last" with "born to dance"

    that is all

    why do i always think that this thread being bumped means there's news on the cover album or act 3

    there's never news on the cover album or act 3

    I didn't realize the warped tour was still a thing, but that's cool that they're getting on a larger bill like this, especially as a featured band.

    Could be a big deal for them!

    I forgot to say anything when the last email went out but they promised that some stuff is coming
    And finally, here's a list of things that are still happening, even if we don't talk about them all the time (in no particular order):
    1) Covers Album
    2) Act II Vinyl
    3) Light Up The Night video.
    4) Documentary
    5) --- --- (use your imagination)
    6) Seeecrettss
    7) More seeeeecrettss

    #5 is pretty clearly A C T I I I

    How in the sweet bloody fuck did I miss this update
    VANS WARPED TOUR and COVER UP EP
    It's been a long time coming, but that long time has finally led to now. If you're planning on coming to Vans Warped Tour Presented By Journey's this summer, you'll finally be able to get a glimpse of the longest gestating covers record in the history of rock and roll. We're releasing a 4 song downloadable EP exclusively at the Warped shows. The jams will come in the form of a tour laminate/lanyard/download ticket situation for what we're officially calling the Victory World Tour…pt. 1… North America: Cover Up EP (it's 4 sweet cover jams that you can only get at Warped Tour, but we can't legally call it Vans Warped Tour, so hence our Victory.) The tour laminate (which will cost only 5 American Dollars) includes a commemorative movie ticket stub for The Cover Up movie (not to be confused Dolph Lundgren and Louis Gossett Jr.'s 1991 cinematic masterpiece), and that ticket includes a download code. If you buy the laminate and get the ticket, not only can you impress your friends with your snazzy new tour laminate and download the 4 songs, but you'll also be able to use that same download code for a 5 dollar discount when the full soundtrack becomes available. It's soon. We promise. And this time it's for real.

    If you can't make it to VWT (Victory World Tour……. pt. 1... North America), don't fret, just ask a friend to get a lanyard for you. We heard on the street that friends like mailing things to friends.

    COVERS TRACK LISTING:

    1. Danger Zone
    2. No Easy Way Out
    3. The Trooper
    4. Drove All Night


    Aside from the lanyard/download ticket situation, we have a fancy new tour shirt that I think you should want. I also heard on that same street that it's pretty fun to own like 3 or 4 of them.

    You'll also be able to get a sweet poster, too!

    I skipped out on seeing them when warped tour came through Houston because I'd basically be paying like 60 bucks just for protomen.

    One day I'll get this damn Kilroy hammer signed. One day.

    And shirts depending on your size.
    Sad they had like 10 posters left over but I guess the show in Austin in October will make up for it.

    I got a chance to see them at Warped this year. There was at least one or two other bands I didn't mind seeing out there so it definitely wasn't wasted. Got one of the lanyards and a T-shirt. It was an awesome, awesome time. A few pics of the setup and my signed lanyard.

    Everyone shut up! Shut up, Lutz

    The covers album is done and if you're at MAGFest you can go get it right now

    If not then you can pre-order the vinyl or cassette tape tomorrow morning from their new merch site
    http://protomen.gomerch.com

    You'll get a download code as soon as you place the order too

    Various combos are available in the different formats with a t-shirt and also one combo pack that will include an actual vintage Walkman for you to play the cassette on

    Finally.

    That's definitely an apt email title.

    Looks like someone realized they screwed up and yanked down the track listing and Super Duper Pack listing, which rang in at $63. Here's hoping the vinyl + shirt combo comes in significantly cheaper than that?

  • Options
    Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Well that vinyl combo won't include an actual Walkman that they had to get from god knows where
    And you know those autographs are worth CASH

    Man, this cover album is pretty excellent. I haven't had a chance to see The Protomen live, so a lot of these tracks are entirely new to me. The transition from Hunted to The Trooper, oh man.

    Edit: Also, what is going on with their ordering page? Earlier I preordered a Super Cassette bundle that didn't come with a t-shirt, but did come with the Walkman. Now that option isn't on the website, but there's a Super Duper bundle with a t-shirt and is sold out? I got a confirmation for my order.

    It's a brand new site that they just launched today, I'd be surprised if there weren't some bugs in there somewhere. I'd shoot them an email if you wanted to double check and make sure your order is right. The Super Duper Pack sold out really quick this morning.

    I really can't wait to figure out what exactly the speaking parts are; clips from the movie or from the people who made the movie?

    Yeah, I shot off an email to the gomerch support email. My CC has already been charged and everything, and like I said, I did get a correct confirmation email that contained the appropriately labelled download link (Super Cassette Pack, vs. Super Duper Pack). I'm actually looking forward to getting the vintage Walkman, I was born a hair too late to have experienced them.
