The Protomen or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love to Headbang

So this past Thursday myself and Bacondog went to the awesome Santos Party House in New York City to see The Protemen. Who are The Protomen, you ask? They are an amazing Metal Rock Opera band that retells the story of the Mega Man video game. The Mega Man video game never really had much of a plot to it to begin with. It was about a robot who fought an evil doctor bent on world domination. However The Protomen took that simple plot and turned it into a full out Orwellian story about how we should rely on ourselves and be our own heroes, a very good message wrapped up in hardcore face melting music.

For me personally, I have been to many rock concerts before. However, this is the first time I have been to one in a bar setting like Santos. I thought it would be like any other concert I have been to, but it was totally different. Maybe it was the small sized venue, maybe it was the pure awesomeness of the music. Whatever the reason was, the energy in there was amazing, and I did something I never thought I’d do…I head banged. It was magical…truly magical. Anyway, the concert was great, purely amazing. If any of you readers out there get the chance to see them live in concert go, you will be part of an amazing experience with face melting music.
