Damn, I love this band. I remember rolling out of Philadelphia a few years ago with them blasting. The traffic was slow and a girl hanging out the window yelled at me asking who it was. I told her and she drove off hanging out the window screaming their name.
Ive had this song stuck in my head for the past year or so. Had no idea the front man looked like my late uncle, and that the rhythm guitarist was such a babe.
I recall seeing the pope Pontiac 1987 Money changing between hands Outside the Silverdome Afterwards a riot broke Old folks turned brutish Trampling their way out the gates Towards heaven That fall from grace Knocked me on my knees Don't tell anyone That's what I wanted The God of change Knocked me on my knees Don't tell anyone That's what I wanted Remembering a Jumbo's night December 26th Weird faces filled up the bar Half sober Outside a steady snow All new white With new money and false friends I don't like it That fall from grace Knocked me on my knees Don't tell anyone That's what I wanted The God of change Knocked me on my knees Don't tell anyone That's what I wanted The dog in the manger eats its anger But I miss it The way it was before the scales Fell from my eyes There's no use being sad about it What's the point of crying about it? There's no use being sad about it What's the point of crying about it? There's no use being sad about it What's the point of crying about it? There's no use being sad about it What's the point of crying about it? There's no use being sad about it What's the point of crying about it?

Kelly’s vocals on this add such a great dimension!
This man is the best lyricist out there and yall sleeping on him cause he looks like my uncle.
The opening lines of Wheel of Fortune always floor me
Kinda reminds me of the pixies lead singer

Their best song, such a great performance.
Nope, lots of best songs mate. Try to discover, no disrespect

kelley deal didn’t play on the agent intellect, she’s just a touring member :P
I just realized the babe is Kelley Deal. Kim Deal's Breeder sister.
Man, you're all in for the treats
They just get better and better, incredible !!! Making us from Michigan proud and inspired
I drove from the shores of lake superior to see Wolf Eyes, with Protomartyr as headliner. What a great show!
Never heard of them until now. Love this and love almost as much that the lead singer looks like he might sell you a Dodge after the show.
He's more likely to give you an English lecture lmfao
Best postpunk band ever
I listen to this band everyday. Absolutely love their music!
joe's vocal delivery on this is also so much better than the album version imo, im in love with this performance
Joe Casey is an incredible front man. He kind of reminds me of Frank Black. Brilliant band.
I saw them in Limerick last night. Incredible gig, one of the best I've ever been to
been listening to this song on repeat these past couple of days- what a nice treat from KEXP to release it just now
I'd love to sit down with Joe and hear him talk about what his songs are about
Kelly's vocals are awesome!!
This is fucking insane.
I love this song so much. Preoccupations cover hits so much differently but is absolutely astounding with the Shoegazey feel.
I recall seeing the pope
Pontiac 1987
Money changing between hands
Outside the Silverdome
Afterwards a riot broke
Old folks turned brutish
Trampling their way out the gates
Towards heaven
That fall from grace
Knocked me on my knees
Don't tell anyone
That's what I wanted
The God of change
Knocked me on my knees
Don't tell anyone
That's what I wanted
Remembering a Jumbo's night
December 26th
Weird faces filled up the bar
Half sober
Outside a steady snow
All new white
With new money and false friends
I don't like it
That fall from grace
Knocked me on my knees
Don't tell anyone
That's what I wanted
The God of change
Knocked me on my knees
Don't tell anyone
That's what I wanted
The dog in the manger eats its anger
But I miss it
The way it was before the scales
Fell from my eyes
There's no use being sad about it
What's the point of crying about it?
There's no use being sad about it
What's the point of crying about it?
There's no use being sad about it
What's the point of crying about it?
There's no use being sad about it
What's the point of crying about it?
There's no use being sad about it
What's the point of crying about it?
There's no use being sad about it
What's the point of crying about it?
There's no use being sad about it
What's the point of crying about it?
There's no use being sad about it
What's the point of crying about it?
Cheers.
Last time I saw Protomartyr live, Ms. Deal wasn't touring with them, and I'm kinda sad about it because she really adds a lot to the live sound....
There's no use being sad about it. You'll see her next time!
FUCKING AWESOME 👌 😊😊😊😊😊😢😢😢😢😢😢
But they still don't fricking play Cleveland!!!! 😢😢😢😢😢
OF ALL FRICKING PLACES!, I DON'T UNDERSTAND YO!
She's who Yoko Ono thought she was

Pixies meet The Fall 👍
Joy Division

Hello
Hi
Protomartyr is criminally underrated.
When your uncle starts getting loose at the function and breaks out into song
Protomartyr - Pontiac 87 (Live on KEXP) 1210pm 30.8.23 it didn't, did it- get anymore heavier? it should have... o, yeah.... modest mouse.
What
@@kmac1130 Comments on ‘Protomartyr - Pontiac 87 (Live on KEXP)’ 2056pm 20.10.23 i am not black?
Apart from the singing it sounds very Joy Division.
His singing is more from the school of Mark E Smith than Ian Curtis.
And Joe Strummer
This song really didn't need back vocals, it's perfect already
Nice cover 👀
It's an original. Preoccupations did the cover
@@Nahvalr_ ummmm... no it isn't
This is some low quality bait sorry
@@lucaserojas Don't feel bad. I chuckled
