   About Protean Collective

Protean Collective inhabits the space between the cerebral and the emotive. Pulse-pounding rhythms and screaming leads couple with expressive and often unsettling imagery to create a world unlike any other. Raw and uninhibited, their live performance has captivated audiences throughout the northeast. Fans of almost any genre find them accessible as they explore universal themes.

Singer and guitarist, Graham Bacher, Guitarist Steph Goyer and Drummer Matt Perard formed the group in 2005 with Andy Doonan joining shortly after on Bass. Ideals of purpose, theme and cohesive structure helped them fuse their disparate influences and give birth to a style they could call their own. Their first EP, 2006’s self titled release, showcased their commitment to experimentation and unique structure. 2007 gave way to their debut album, Once Mechanical, a darker, more focused work.

2009 began with the release of their latest EP and will see an album’s worth of new material in the months to come. The band will be touring extensively throughout the summer as they continue their dynamic and experimental writing process.
