Ascent of Everest Tracking Completed

Well it was a tall bill but we just barely scraped under the razors edge and the new AOE full-length is all preped and off to CA where it will be mixed and mastered by the very capable and talented jordan andreen. It's been a grueling month and a half here at meltface studios and there were times i really didn't think we could pull it off with the limited time and no budget going on, i didn't think i was going to be able to go home for xxx-mas or enjoy life, but we pulled it off (yaah!). further, i have to say this is the best record i've ever produced, rob says this is some of his best engineering work, and we can't wait for you all to here it. once the tracks are mastered and the artwork is done we expect to set a release date, probably here in the next few weeks. The record will be released on slick CD's by shels music and beautiful 180 gram colored vinyl with hand printed sleaves in a joint venture by futurerecordings\meltface all designed by drew at monkeyinkdesign. more announcements and pictures sooooon....

EXCLUSIVE BONNAROO VIDEO! PROTOMEN DANGER ZONE

"Danger Zone" is a rock song from the soundtrack to the 1986 American motion picture Top Gun. It was composed by Giorgio Moroder (who is totally awesome) and Tom Whitlock, and performed by Kenny Loggins.

Moroder originally asked Bryan Adams to record this song, but he was said to have rejected it because he had disliked the jingoismexpressed in Top Gun. The rock group Toto was also supposed to perform the song, but due to legal matters, it was passed to Loggins.^[1]

The second single released from the Top Gun soundtrack, "Danger Zone" was a commercial success, peaking at #2 on theBillboard Hot 100. The song continues to be popular today, continuing in heavy rotation on Classic Rock radio stations in the United States.

The song was covered by Oh, Hush! and released on the band's Don't Judge a Record by Its Covers EP. It was also featured in the films Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, Sex Drive and 17 Again, and the episode "Eight Misbehavin" of the television series The Simpsons.

Dann Huff, lead vocalist and guitarist from '80s glam metal group Giant performed guitar work on this song.

Covered by the Protomen at the annual Tennessee music festival Bonnaroo as a part of a truly epic hour long set. Featuring 14ish members, three video projectors, robot warfare, phish phighting, hilarious fun and furious rock. This is one of the highlights of that set though its hard to choose a favorite this was a unique moment in protohistory. Trey has been difficult to contact concerning the epic Proto vs. Phish battle as he is busy bathing in money while smoking blunts wrapped with hundred dollar bills. 

Notice this is one of the many times during the set someone screams "Phish Sucks" you can hear it during the introduction they give to the song.

BTW Protogeeks take note i have in my posession a piece of a guitar smashed on stage at the Mercy Lounge Road to Bonnaroo 8 off 8th show.... email me with offers... i can get it signed.... hook it up kids i need money.
