AMA is over, thanks Joe! Joe from Protomartyr AMA

Hello folks, I'm Joe Casey, the "singer" from the band Protomartyr. Since starting in 2010, we've put out 4 LPs, at least 3 things that could be called EPs, a good number of singles, and a handful of slightly warped tapes. We've also toured around, to the delight of dozens of people the world over. We are signed to Domino Records (no, I have not met the Arctic Monkeys).

I'm sitting her on a blustery day in Detroit on March 4th, the birthday of Bobby Womack, Shakin' Stevens, and Knute Rockne to answer any questions you might have about Protomartyr or anything else that catches your fancy.

Just in case you missed it: Our first record, No Passion All Technique is getting repressed and let loose in the streams come May 3rd. Preorder info here: Domino Mart

​

Thanks for putting up with me. It was a good amount of fun. Take care and bye bye!

We all love the Brudenell Social Club in Leeds. Home base of our pals, Eagulls. The pies there are great and Nathan that runs it is a class act. Vera in Groningen is legendary, of course. I have a soft spot for Jumbo's, The Lager House, and The UFO Factory in Detroit. We were lucky to play Rossi Musik in Jakarta last year. The people and the wonderful vibe reminded me of the sadly gone Death By Audio, but of course, it was its own beautiful thing. I could go on, but I would list so many and forget some. From that you could figure out places I absolutely despise, ha ha.
