[ATTENDED: November 30, 2018] Protomartyr
Protomartyr’s second album Under Color of Official Right was one of my favorite records of 2014. I loved the noisy music that the band made while singer Joe Casey yelled his abrasive ideas at us.
They had an interesting look too, with the band looking like, as I heard described, three kids who called up their old hard-ass teacher to jam with them.
Casey looks not unlike some random drunk guy who felt compelled to get up on stage and just yell at people. He always had a beer in his hand and had at least one in his coat pocket. He stared us down, but also made a couple of funny jokes.
The crowd was absolutely devoted though and the slam dancing was fast and furious (despite the sign at the entrance which said there was to be none of that). (more…)
