Welcome to the Protoculture myspace fan site...
Protoculture, phoenixed from the ashes of the legendary L.A. outfit The Vegetable Shitheads, was founded in 1993 by band members Steve Abagon, Jonathan Burkes, and Trevor Jayne. Unbound by the claustrophobic conventions of popular music and post modern instrumental composition, Protoculture throws caution to the wind and heeds the salty breathe of chaos to produce a rather acute melange of post-melodic hysteria. While some have likened it to a Star Wars cantina band-all-you-can-hear buffet, their breed of organized noise does compliment the blood to concrete palpitations of kamakaze skateboarders. Protoculture bred amongst many a L.A. influence, has played a barrage of shows over the years Steaming and burroughing in the underbelly of the Los Angeles underground, Protoculture works tirelessly....lol... to complete the long awaited and critically acclaimed recording of their full length album "Time Stretch: The Lost Oddysey." Stay tuned and thank you for donating an ear.
Every Christmas season, I find myself wondering, what kind of a kid was Jesus? I mean, after he got himself out of the manger? We shot this video in 1992 with my daughter Willow. It's won some awards and is used in churches, temples & Sunday school classes. It addresses homelessness and caring for each other on this planet. It's called WHEN JESUS WAS A KID. Feel free to pass this on to friends and family. Happy, merry, warm and loving holidays to you and your loved ones. Bye for now - Peter Alsop
Thank You very much for the connection, I hope You enjoy the sound - I really enjoy Yours; great inspired guitar music, that reminds me of some of my favorite 70ies-stuff (I had to think of Camel or Wishbone Ash - do You like those?)
Just me wishing you a Merry Christmas and a great 2008! For those of you that do not celebrate Christmas, Happy Eid, Happy Hanukah, and all other religions holidays I have forgotten to mention.
