URIZEN joins the party!
On June 19th, for the first time in 12 years, @urizenonline will return to Nashville and resurrect their never-ending quest in stopping Dr. Fritz as they join @theprotomen on night 2 of their hometown 3-day “Act III” album release party being held at @mmusicworks from June 18-20. Did that sentence make your brain hurt also?!?!
This addition completes night two’s lineup with @cybertronicband opening the show!
Tickets are SOLD OUT but we hear tale that a few more are going to pop up online and in stores around Nashville to grab… so follow all of bands’ socials to be the first to know (more bands to be announced soon, so maybe just follow all the bands that The Protomen has ever been friends with or has played shows with to be sure)!
Six years have passed since humanity lost one of its absolute best.
But for six years, the legend and legacy of Rustin Luther has only grown stronger. Not a day passes that Rustin isn’t in the hearts and minds of people all over the world.
Bringing URIZEN back to the stage since losing Rustin is always a bittersweet experience, and this year’s return was no different. Rustin was the jet engine that propelled us forward, and limping along without him is a logistical and emotional test of strength.
But it’s always worth it.
And what makes it worthwhile is seeing how fiery the love and respect for Rustin burns within everyone who joins us at these shows. The Rustin 3:16 shirts, the Fight Rustin Fight tees, fans and friends arriving with keepsakes, autographs, and memories from Rustin that they’re so happy to share with us, even full-on Rustin Luther cosplay! (Love ya, Mac!)
So yes, the six years we’ve all endured without Rustin has been heartbreaking, but it has also been filled with community, support, love, and kindness, centered around the eternal galactic orbit of our friend, our brother, our comrade for all time, Rustin Wayne Luther.
We love you, Rustin. We miss you. Thank you for always shining down upon us.
We feed the hope
reserving strength
that given time
this plight will end
and we'll dream again!

We can't tell you all how much we appreciate the love and support we've gotten since we strapped on the ol' kneepads (our patellas flash red like a boss' weak point) and ventured back on stage to party with all of y'all again. After being gone for over 3 years, there was more than a handful of times we thought to ourselves, "Would anyone even care if we came back?"
Well goddamn... you guys cared!
Huge huge massive never-ending thanks to our road soulmates @psychostick for driving us out of the darkness and back into the ridiculous light of this amazing tour. Having our friends @bitbrigade (with bonus Danimal Cannon!) with us too was like the most mind-blowing cherry on top ever!
Massive thanks as well to Barron, Jeremy, Patrick, Michelle, and Tony for keeping the machine running behind the scenes. Live music rules, but it's a damn mess, and without these folks we would've allll been screwed!
And as always, the biggest thanks are reserved for all of you beautiful people who come out to rock with us! We could be gone for 100 years, but as soon as we're under the lights with you animals, it's like not a day has passed. Sincerely, thank you all so much for letting us continue this journey.
Now that the machine is moving again, I see no reason for it to stop! We're cooking up new adventures and new tunes as we speak, so stick around, we ain't done yet!

PSYCHOSTICK! BIT BRIGADE! TACOS! VIDEO GAMES! After 3+ years of dwelling in the shadows, we are equal parts stoked, thrilled, and giddy to take our first steps back into the world and onto the stage as we join two of our favorite bands in the world during the Texas dates of their Tacos and Video Games Tour! So polish up your moose antlers, sharpen your throwing stars, oil your bots, and prepare for action! #psychostick #bitbrigade #urizen #tacos #videogames #vgm
What's that? Did I hear you say that you were hankering for a #Solo #Journaling #Tabletop #RPG based on the unfolding story of The Box Factory that serves as a "playable prologue" to the story and our new song Radiant Falling Stars?
My friends, you are in luck.
Thomas here with something I am quite excited to share with you! Over the past "many moons" (MANY) I have been working on a #TTRPG called Failure and Mutiny. What I'm sharing today is what I would aaaaaalmost call a #Beta release in that I do plan to add some more illustrations along with a physical release in the near future.
"So why are you sharing it now then?"
Good question! The reason you are SUDDENLY hearing about this is because an opportunity SUDDENLY came up for me to be apart of one of my favorite websites in the whole world AND to contribute my "art" to a worthy cause.
Every year @exaltedfuneral purveyor of fine RPGs, #zines, books, #games, and musics, puts on an event called #FreeRPG where you can, you guessed it, get FREE RPGS! The entire site will be 25% off and your purchases will be accompanied by FREE RPGS!!!
In addition to the physical freebies, there is a donated collection of Free PDF RPGs that requires no purchases whatsoever! SO FREE!!!
BUT... you're gonna want to pay something, because all potential earnings from the free PDFs will go towards The Center For Asian Pacific American Women charity.
Guess who contributed a free PDF RPG? Can you guess....?
Sale begins tonight at Midnight on the East Coast and continues on through the weekend!
