   About A Catapult Western

MySpace Codes A Catapult Western is a Madison, Wisconsin band. The project was originally organized by a disgruntled drummer who needed to keep himself busy while his wife was on a long trip. He tricked four real musicians into joining the band and ACW was born. From Dane101 Review - January 10, 2008 “A Catapult Western, the album not the band, is filled with moments of quiet contemplation and deep regret that shake the core and move the listener to feel as if s/he is the one who wrote songs and had gone through the range of emotions it took to get the words to page. The band pulls you into their world through melodic instrumentation…. .With its poignant lyrics and lonely sound, A Catapult Western fits into the season well. Lock your doors, turn off the lights, and turn up the stereo because you’re in for an evening” From SceneNewspaper.com "What started out as a project grew into a very interesting band. Madison's A Catapult Western offers up a CD of well writ tunes that move easily from folk-influenced to slow burn. Violin, mandolin and keyboards give way to tube-driven guitars. They build a codeine haze that recalls Opal's David Roback at his best." We will be playing shows from time to time. Please come out and say hello. Thanks for checking us out. The songs on this page are from the album. Enjoy.

Blood Root Mother





Jul 17 2009 4:12 AM

Hello!

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 a few days ago. 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 link to the video for a new tune called Run Bobby Run:

Let us know what you think!

Peace,

I recommend stopping by 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 :)

Again, here's the event info:

It was a pleasure to share the stage with you. Your songs were like a delicious 15 year scotch poured into a mostly empty beer bottle.
