   About Protean Mean

Protean Mean was active from 2006 - 2009. For various reasons we have decided to call it a day. Please see the latest blog entry for explanations.

I'm extremely proud of the music we made in our 3 years together. Some great songs came out of this partnership between Jenn, Matt and I. Some of these songs will continue to exist in my future (currently nameless) project with Matt, perhaps in different forms.

I will keep this page active since it's never a bad thing to have good music exist in the world. Thank you to everyone who befriended us here and esp. those who came out to shows and dug the music. We greatly appreciate it.

James
