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:
And so it begins...HotDish's 1st-Saturday monthly @ the iconic First Avenue Nightclub (VIP room) for BLACK.
THIS SATURDAY - 4th of July - after the fireworks - we present "THROWBACK" (old school raver guys doing it up...well...old school). 10pm. $5. FREE CROSSOVER TO "TOO MUCH LOVE" (can't beat that)! We have free shit to give away as well. Would love to see everyone there! Happy 4th!
The beloved Belgian boy-girl chamber-pop duo Soy Un Caballo HAVE JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED AS SUPPORTING ACT FOR VIEUX FARKA TOURE TONIGHT, THURSDAY, JUNE 25th, AT THE CEDAR CULTURAL CENTER, 416 CEDAR AVENUE SOUTH, MINNEAPOLIS.
If you haven’t found time to listen to Soy Un Caballo yet, they released their North American debut Les Heures De Raison recently on Minty Fresh, and garnered critical praise from Pitchfork, Venus Magazine and Prefix, among others. The duo, comprised of Aurelie Muller and Thomas Van Cottom, have also worked with Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst, Tunng, The High Llamas and Bonnie “Prince” Billy.
The show should be a great one, so hope you can make it!
