New single from Act III, “The Fight,” is now streaming on all the platforms. Click this link and pick your poison. We’re already up to like 30,000 plays on Spotify, so that’s something like 50 dollars! About 4 of us are gonna get to eat a burrito with that chunk of change (the other 4 will starve)!!! But seriously, we’re glad you’re all seeming to like it. There’s plenty more where that came from.

Cover design and new logo done by Caspar Newbolt with artwork by John DeLucca. I think they did a hell of a job, if I do say so myself.

And yeah… James Cameron may have beaten us by getting Avatar 2 out before we could release Act III, but mark my words, I almost somewhat guarantee that we’ll have Act III out before Avatar 5! The gauntlet has been thrown, Mr. Cameron. Come at us.

—FIGHT MERCH—
Like that Fight art and new logo? Get it on some shirts! We’ve got a regular coal colored (nearly black) Tshirt, and girl-style scoop Tshirt to choose from. 

And on top of that, we’ve got a pretty rad new raglan sweatshirt (raglan is the only way to go with sweatshirts. Believe me, I’m an expert). 

We’ve also got a pretty awesome windbreaker (with some rain protection) pullover with silver-ish print. This sort of a jacket is a first for us, so let us know how you like it by buying it or not (whichever is funnier). 

**please note** this new FIGHT merch will not ship in time for the holidays. 

—CHICAGO—
Our 2 shows at Reggies with Cybertronic Spree are now super sold out and we couldn’t be more excited to get back to Chicago for some Italian Hot Beef Sandwiches!…. and shows. See you there!

—EURO TOUR—
And let’s not forget our upcoming Europe and UK tour! Get to a show and you’ll hear “The Fight,” as well as some other Act III jams. So get your tickets and help spread the word over there. Send your friends the link to “The Fight” to see if they like it and then bring them to a show even if they don’t. Maybe bring them to 5 shows. While you’re helping us with promotion, go ahead and start requesting “The Fight” at your local radio stations. And call in to TRL and demand that Cason Daly puts us on the show. Then Google who/what Carson Daly and TRL are.

Remember that time in the last email where I said, “see you back here in about 3 weeks?” This is what I was talking about. Now that “The Fight” is out there, we’re gonna do the holiday thing for a bit, but then get right back into the studio at the start of the new year. Feeling good about this one.

CHICAGO WITH CYBERTRONIC SPREE

In case you missed the news since the last mailer, the Feb 25th show sold out so fast that we added another show on the 24th. Those tickets are almost gone too, so hop on those quick if you’re interested in pure excitement.

PROTOMEN IN EUROPE+UK

You know what else works great as stocking stuffers? Multiple Protomen show tickets in various cities all over Europe! Plane tickets and train passes! Maybe a trusty travel pony (just make sure they know how to properly care for said pony)!? But for sure some new luggage for all the days your loved one will be on the road following their new favorite American band as they cross the continent making rock and roll history. And then might as well throw in a new Roomba to keep their floors clean while they’re on their life-affirming journey. And with that, think of all the things you can get done at home while they’re off following the Protomen around Europe! You could start that garden you’ve been talking about for the last 3 years. Actually, forget the garden, you should come too! And bring the Roomba! It’s a win-win-win!!! You know what to do.

**UPDATE 2** 25th is SOLD OUT — NEW SHOW ADDED ON THE 24th!!! Get tickets before they’re gone.
