We really hope anyone who’s in town for E3 will be able to make it to this - it will be a show unlike anything we’ve ever done before!

MAGfest 9 is right around the corner!

Mon, 3 Jan 2011 11:09:32 -0800

That’s right gang, our third straight performance at MAGfest is in less than 2 weeks! The event takes place January 13th-16th at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, VA.

This year’s MAGfest promises to be the best yet, with performances by practically every video game band we can think of, including the godfathers of video game rock themselves, THE MINIBOSSES!

What’s more, The Protomen will be putting on not one but TWO epic concerts, one for Act I and then a second for Act II the following night!

With all of the other acts raising the bar, we have decided to one-up our performance as well, with the debut of some brand new songs from the upcoming MM3 album, as well as a number of surprises, guest appearances, and additions to our set!

You really have no choice but to preregister, and come hang with us all weekend!

Mega Man Universe!

Sat, 4 Sep 2010 18:11:29 -0700

Capcom has released the first glimpses of gameplay footage for their upcoming Mega Man Universe game, and all of the videos feature music by the Megas!

The first 3 videos, each featuring a different playable version of Mega Man (Mega Man, Rockman, and Bad Box Art Mega Man) and feature our track The Message from Dr. Light, while the 4th features all 3 of the playable Mega Men and features Lights Out, the instrumental Sparkman track from our single, Sparked a War!

Very excited to be involved in these official trailers, and can’t wait to see what’s in store in the future for these games!

And if you’re somebody who just found us for the first time thanks to these trailers - head over to themegas.bandcamp.com to check out all of our tunes, or themegas.com/store to throw some support our way!

The Sparkman Single!

Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:51:22 -0700

Just in time for the summer con circuit (Comic-Concert in San Diego and Bit Gen 5 in Baltimore are coming right up) - we are playing NEW songs! Selling NEW (awesome) shirts! And most importantly - a NEW CD! It's not the MM3 full length we know you guys have been waiting for (though we've been progressing nicely on that), but it's the next best thing!

Remember when bands used to release singles with cool b-sides not available anywhere else? Well, that's what we've decided to release as a nice preview of the upcoming Megaman 3 album!

The tracklist includes:

You've Sparked A War (Sparkman)
You've Sparked A Coustic (Acoustic Sparkman)
Super Fighting Robot (Megaman cartoon theme)
Sunglasses at Night (our first non-Megaman cover)
and Lights Out (Instrumental Sparkman for all you remixers and fans of vocal-less VG covers!)

And pick up one of the new protoskull shirts while you’re at it!
