Conan Neutron & the Secret Friends - Protons and Electrons11
45Cool record. Tony and Dale make a killer rhythm section. Cool Cheap Trick homage in first track. Hear lots of mid-period Killing Joke and Mean Streets-era Van Halen elsewhere. Eugene Robinson cameo is totally off the fuckin' rails, just nuts. I loved Mount Vicious and V&A had some jams, but I've been waiting for Conan to get mean again for a while. Only complaint is that I wish there were more lyrics about robots and cryptozoology, but maybe next time? Will cop an LP when they're done.

Will cop an LP when they're done.Probably shouldn't give away the store, but i'm sick of secrets...next one is an in depth look/character examination of Hannibal Lecter.With any luck that'll be right after the west coast tour in May.Not to give anything away, but those songs are all (generally) a little more brutal and all in Drop-C. I'm hoping we can tighten up the turn around time too, but that all moves at the pace of $$$.It wouldn't be outside the realm of possibilities to do a set at PRF BBQ Chicago too... as long as it doesn't clash with the Melvins schedule and whatever else and our hardworking Chicago PRF core would have us.We'll see... we'll see.As I sit here and crank H.A.T. the fact his happens makes me feel like the bonus round in life.

Means a lot. Please play it loud.

I'm personally still riding the high of the first one, but this next one is a step above and beyond, in my humble opinion.I agree.A little different too.But much, more about that later. I'm thinking we will be mixed by July with a release as soon as we can get it out there... probably fall.Speaking of which: We have cds. If you ordered one, you probably received them by now. What's up with the vinyl?Any day now. Most recent estimate is the very beginning of June. Delays all due to very understandable things.We're finally getting around to sending the EoE stuff to radio, so if there is a station that you think might like it, or a show... feel free to PM me here and i'll make sure it happens. Lastly: We are playing the last night of the PRF BBQ in Chicago. Unfortunately timing worked out that Melvins are playing Toronto at the same time. So we will have Jordan from REPTOID filling in on drums. That is a very cool thing though. Pretty sure we'll be able to do some shows in the fall with Dale, who is a very, very busy guy.
