I just wanted to stop by to say hello and give you a little update on what Blood Root Mother is up to! We will be recording an EP of new music in August, and we recently finished recording a live DVD. The DVD is currently unreleased and I actually just saw it for the first time yesterday. It features the last two performances with Tony Ellis still alive, and some footage from the tribute show we played on the night of his funeral.
There are some cool covers, as well as some NEW music that will be on our upcoming EP. We're very excited about the new music and we'd like to share a sneak peak with you. Here's a video of a tune called Run Bobby Run:
This is it! THE show of the year. we are celebrating the release of our new cd "ANNO MMIX" with a FREE show. we have gathered our closest friends in CWN ANNWN, URN and RISINGFALL to celebrate with us.
PLUS - we will be selling metal vinyl, videos, dvd's and cd's from the ROOT OF ALL EVIL empire! so even if you don't like the bands, come to shop!
this will be the last show til the winter so DON'T MISS IT! It's FREE for fup sake!
Blood Root Mother will be playing at Trocaderos in Minneapolis on Friday, June 26th. I cannot stress enough how awesome this show will be. We're playing with three of the sweetest local rock bands: Claret, Niobium and Casanatra. If you haven't heard these guys, check them out immediately! Please come to this show!!
I recommend coming during happy hour for two for one drinks along with free buffet, which is delicious. We'll be hanging out at Trocs all night, so come by and chill/party with us :)
Please come out and support some great local music! Music starts at 9:30pm and we should go on around midnight. Invite your friends, pile into a car (or a party bus), and together we will make this one of the highlights of the summer :)
We wanted to stop by & thank you for your continued support of the Bad Animals. This Saturday June 6th, come join us at GB Leightons Pickle Park in Fridley, as we do a back to the 70's and 80' party with Transit Authority, the Tribute to Chicago. Hope to see you there. Thanks for Keeping the Love Alive!
Just stopping by to show some love. We appreciate that you're doing your own thing!
Blood Root Mother believes strongly in the power of music. Genuine music transcends all limitations and boundaries, and happens when musicians and listeners are communicating with one another on the deepest level possible. In a society overcome by an obsession with flashy images and stale radio hits, we seek to find a sound that shakes the foundation of the status quo. Since the dawn of human civilization, music has been about sharing humanity and truly connecting with others. So stay connected with us, and join us on our journey.
Peace, Elliot
The artistic activity does not lie in art itself as such. It penetrates into a deeper world in which all art forms flow together, and in which the harmony of soul and cosmos in the nothing has its outcome in reality. -Bruce Lee

Come and join area photographer Marc Bowen as he hosts a rare exhibit of his work. This show is a retrospective of his ongoing love of B&W photography. On exhibit will be portraits and city scenes taken over the last 30 years, including recent images of Paris. Appreciate Marc's strong compositions and classic style. You should recognize some local artists that have posed for his lens over the years. Stop in for some wine and good company and say hi to Marc, he would love to see you this Saturday starting at 7PM.
