2022 - the year of the dan: chapter 5
Chapter 5
Next was Protomartyr. Also Cyprus Avenue. On Kev’s recommendation. A man with good taste.
No sign of any North Cork cousins this time. A band from Detroit. Home of MC5 and The Stooges. Protomartyr are a fine and honourable addition to this legacy. Plenty of mature gents in the house nodding vigorously. But don’t let that put you off.
They are literate. Compelling. And superb musicians.
My favourite part of the night was learning – from Kev – that the singer met the rest of the band when they all worked as doormen at a club in Detroit. He's about 50. They’re all in their 30s I'm guessing. The opposite of a pick up band. The antidote to Mark E Smith Recruitment 101.
Kelley Deal was also there on keys and guitar. She seemed delighted with life.
