Watching the IQ twitter...

...okay, who's listening to The Protomen?

Because I think you're my new favorite person around here.

Usually that @IQ_adventures is Steve. He has bad taste in music so I have to assume that's his.

Yep, that was me - actually, though, Broomie turned me on to them.

I dug their cover of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" which is an absolutely excellent song.

The Protomen are awesome, quiet Shawn. This is my favourite song of theirs.

Hah. You funny British dude and your weird tastes.

[Brainiac]

Broomie, Blackthorne, you are now my favorites. I adore The Protomen as well (seeing them live is a real treat, believe me).  The Hounds is also one of my favorites; the guy who plays Wily always gets into his role on stage. I'm keeping an eye on their schedules and the upcoming Act III. What previews they've done thus far have my attention.

Klytos, this is why you're kept in the Southern Hemisphere - because you have no taste when it comes to excellent video game tribute bands (though The Protomen are QUITE the stretch compared to something like The Megas). But I suppose, just for you, I'll post a different cover of theirs, performed live with some special guests...

Hmmmm, more than four months apart...is the double post or the thread necromancy the more vile crime? 

Anyways, just thought I should post two recent tidbits from The Protomen's YouTube channel. Man do I want Act III...

And yes, I've heard both of these pieces performed live already; they do indeed rock...man.

*pelted with rotten fruit*

[Brainiac]

I have been a poor fan. I missed this (as well as some stuff put out by The Megas around the same time).

This is gonna rock...man.

@Blackthorne, @Broomie , and all others who care...I was there.

I want Act III SO BADLY right now...especially after the Christmas present.
