Professor Murder: ...Rides the Subway | Main | Jezebel Music this Thursday
01:18 AM - Proton Proton
I got turned on to Proton Proton a while back by Stasha from Pio Mazzotti. Every time I'd go in to her shop to buy picks or get my guitar fixed, she'd start playing their music. At the time I hadn't heard much about them from anywhere else, but apparently that sort of enthusiastic fandom is contagious. I saw Proton Proton play at the last Deli party at Asterisk (though I got locked outside for the first half of their set, grrr stupid door rule!) and they completely tore it up. They're loud and complex and bizarre but with some prominent tasty tambourine and strange instruments like a toy piano and the gass (half bass, half guitar, of course) they stand out from all of the other sort of weird bands in NYC (trust me, there are tons of them.) Proton Proton have two 6 song eps out, both of which you can purchase from their website. In my last post I recommended that you go see Professor Murder at a pre-Siren Fest party, and now I'm telling you to go see Proton Proton play a Siren afterparty this Saturday, July 15th. Continuing their trend of opening kickass shows (they just played the first Pool Party), Proton Proton are on first with Roxy Pain, the Rogers Sisters (who are playing Siren earlier that day), and Radio 4. This is an amazing lineup and the Hook is a great place to get to see all these bands - I almost wish I wasn't going away just so I could go to this (almost.)
