What Is Proton Proton Doing NOW??

I miss Proton Proton.

Downloadables from EP 01
"Chinese Dancer" (box.net mp3)
"Lock Picker" (box.net mp3)

Downloadables from EP 02
"Aloha" (box.net mp3)
"Plates" (box.net mp3)
"Major Solution" (box.net mp3)

I did a little googling to find out what the former members of Proton Proton are doing now. First up, Paul Fuster a/k/a Speedy46 has a number of free downloads of his new material up on ye olde myspace.

Listen: "GO to WHERE its Clear" (box.net mp3)

Next, Jarrod Ruby is drumming for Third Border. Stream some of the their songs at, uhhh... myspace.

Finally, Aron Sanchez, the former 'gass' player of Proton Proton, is making music with Arone Dyer as BUKE AND GāSS. Now we know the gass is a mashup of a guitar and bass, so I assume a buke is a bass and uke smacked together.

Listen: "Rum For You (Edit)" (box.net mp3)

Aron has also has been running Zero Mass which is a recording studio in Redhook, Brooklyn. His clients have included: Japanther, Dub Trio, Slow Learner, and Limbs among others. Why not listen to some Limbs: "Stages" (mp3).

One Man Tag Crew By Dub Trio

So, Dub Trio play a big mishmash of rock, punk, metal, and of course the dub (a la King Tubby). They don't sing and apparently they are "not going to start singing," but they are not adverse to working with people who sing.

Downloadable:
"One Man Tag Crew" (box.net mp3) (source: insound)

BONUS with vocals:
"Not Alone" (yousendit mp3) by Dub Trio with Mike Patton/Peeping Tom

Bonus without vocals:
"A whole Dub Trio show at Piano's on 5/23/2006 (without track names, grrrr)" (zip)
