Though The Protomen do have a relatively large cult following, I’d estimate that about half of the MAGFest attendees, the “regulars,” were in the same boat as me. To say that I was intrigued after first seeing them perform is a gross understatement.īut am I really the only one to have not known about them? As it turns out, I wasn’t alone at all.
Stage props, speaking roles, and a die-hard fanbase that could sing along to every last word. This was some of the most insane performance art I think I will ever see at a convention. The music is entirely original, and entirely crazy. This 10-person rock band developed their own multi-act rock opera based very loosely around the major characters of the Mega Man franchise. I figured they were just going to do a bunch of Mega Man cover tunes.
But before they got started, I had no idea who they were.Īll I knew was that there was a lot of buzz around the convention floor about how amazing they are, especially live. The most surprising act of MAGFest 9 came in the form of “The Protomen.” They actually played two shows, doing Act I and Act II (released as separate albums) back-to-back.
