Night Protocol in Concert at Mohawk Falls

Come out for a fun night of dancing and entertainment at the Mohawk Falls pavilion!  Night Protocol was created to unite the sounds of the past, present, and future with a cutting-edge style of electronic music. Fueled by synthesizers and a devotion to the sounds of the 1980s, Night Protocol performs retro synthwave as a live band. Night Protocol’s sound takes influence from iconic timeless bands like Tears for Fears, Duran Duran, and The Smiths, yet their latest material shares the intensity and mystery of modern synthwave artists like Mitch Murder, Kavinsky, The Midnight, Perturbator, and Carpenter Brut. Night Protocol shows are driven by live analog synthesizers, MIDI-triggered drum machine pads, intricate basslines, ripping guitar solos, and vocal harmonies. Their live shows take a theatrical approach to music performance with coordinated visual effects, custom lighting rigs, and contagious sense of passion and energy for the foundations of electronic music.

The Band: Matthew Binginot: machines & voice; Justin Goyette: high strings & voice; Ryan Blair: low strings & keys; (Local Girl!!) Amanda Marquis: voice

Tickets cost $15 and are available for purchase online until 6/1/18, at the door the night of the show, or in advance at North Woods Dental in Colebrook.
