FIRST EVER PROTOCOL CONCERT
Just got back from seeing their first gig ever. A n00b band you would expect to have a lot of A/V problems, sound kinda halfassed, NOT THIS TIME! I was impressed! They had a good clean original sound, the frontman was excellent. He reminds me a lot of the lead singer of FUEL. Similar look, similar intensity.
I had a great time! I'd def go to more shows in the future!

And Aaron/iokane/Space, you rocked it hardcore on that bass!


Thank you very much Mista.  That really means a lot from you.  I am just really excited that you made it to the show.  Ifd you all need some demos got to www.musicsteps.com and look for The Protocol.  Todd will send a demo out to you the next day.  I think that they are only $5 or $6.

You can also go to www.theprotocolmusic.com and check the pix and other useless information about the band.

Thank you again for the props and I hope to see you next month or so for the next gig.  I do not have a date yet but, I will keep you posted.

Thanx again for the props Kev and GJ,

> We have another show on July 5th at Doc Maynards in Pioneer Square... Seattle.  We will be going on at 10pm.  There will be two other bands as well.  One of the bands is called the Speedles.  I think that they are a punk/metal cover band of the beatles.  I heard that  they are really good.

> We have a couple of new tunes for you for this show as well.  I hope to see you there (those who are nearby...AND KEVIN).

> Doc Maynards also serves really nice and stiff Crown... Hint... Hint.

Laters,

Space

The Protocol
« Reply #21 on: July 06, 2003, 12:26:42 am »
I went to my second Protocol show tonight.
I grabbed some free parking, got to the bar a hair before 9. As I was walkin up I spotted Aaron. He guestlisted me so I got my wrist stamped, no cover. Then headed to another bar The Bohemian for some cheap drinks. Kill half an hour there then head back to Doc's so he can help setup stuff.
A lil after 10 they hit the stage and put on a killer set. They open with "Favorite Girl" which was one of my favorites from the first show, and its on the demo too. After the 4th or 5th song Aaron has Rob dedicate a song to Cangirl, a girl on the message board. No idea if she was there or not. The song they end with, I forget the title and its not on the demo but Rob just screams it out like he was Chris Cornell doing "Cochise". Great vocals!
So after the show Aaron and I go out to the lounge part and kick it. After a couple minutes a girl comes up, it was Cangirl. She was really sweet. The 3 of us hung out the rest of the break between bands and through half of the next band. Eventually we wandered back inside, there wasnt nearly as many people in there as there was for the Protocol. They were decent at best.
After that set Rob came out, we got to talk to him a bit. Cool guy! I cant wait for the next show!

Thank you very much for the props.  We had a very fun time playing the other night.

I just got word tonight that Sub Pop wants to come and see us play.  How cool would that be?!

See you at the shows,

Thank You Mista,

When we were tracking the tune, we were all like... I am not sure about the first take.  Then Jeff did another track and mixed them together and The rest of us and the Engineer were like... that kicks ass.

We just had a lot of fun making the demo with Barrett and Greg.

See you at the shows,

Saturday August 16th at 11pm at Doc Maynard's in Historic Pioneer Square, Seattle.

That's right!  We have been asked back.  We packed the place last time and intend to do even better this next time.  We also have some new tunes in the works as well.

Well I do have plans for most of that day, but since its a late enough show I'll do everything I can to be there.
I cant wait for the new tunes.

I am sure that you will find a way to make it to the show.  I do hope that you have fun with your other plans.
