big trouble is a place where dreams come true. we're not demanding. we're not "high maintenance." we're flexible, fun, and generally down for whatever. want to enjoy some instrumental music, including sly covers of death cab for cutie, the zombies, bjork, and angelo badalamenti, plus originals? we got you covered. need a band that can ably back any kind of artist, from singer/songwriter rob skoro to rapper p.o.s.? we got that, too. how about some original music with some original words from alexei casselle aka crescent moon of kill the vultures and roma di luna?
in short, we're coming to your town (if you live in minneapolis or saint paul), but we're not coming to tear it down. we'll just be over here, blowing your mind softly.
when not being in big trouble, the members of big trouble play with heiruspecs, joanna james, martin devaney, jessy greene, supreme privacy, and some other people. they've been joined onstage by robert skoro, bill caperton, annie from awesome snakes/soviettes, ben weaver, martin devaney, stook, david campbell, lucy michelle, joanna james, p.o.s. and i think that's about it. they also sometimes play basketball.
guys you like from bands you love playing songs you know without the crappy words in the bars you drink at in the cities you sleep in. the twin cities are in big trouble.
I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Sunday! I hope that the weekend brought you fun adventures, relaxation, and contentment :)
I was going to go camping this weekend, but this is definitely NOT camping weather. So me and some friends went to check out Dueling Pianos. Those guys are amazing - they can play just about any song that's been on the radio between 1950 and 2005.
Anyways, I wanted to let you know about a show we have @ Station 4 on Friday, October 16th. We are debuting a series of one time only performance art pieces. This one is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. The night will be full of creative, interesting, high-energy music, good drinks and good times.
Here's the info:
Blood Root Mother - "An Object to Crave" w/ The Magnetrons & Thought Thieves Friday, October 16th Station 4 201 E 4th St St Paul, MN 55101 9pm / $5 / 18+
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 video of a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
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're now accepting submissions for our next mixtapes, please submit your info at www. coast2coastsubmissions. com for your chance to get a spot on the next mixtape!
Hello! We're spreadin' the word about this Toys For Tots sponsored show at the Hard Rock Cafe'. We'd love it if you made it out (you gotta bring a toy though!)
