About me:
I'm enthusiastic. I'm passionate. I'm busy. All the time. I stay up way too late and am never home. I love live music. I love taking pictures with my Canon. Especially of those who play the sh*t out of their instrument. I love learning how to become a better photographer. I love writing. I love dancing. I love wiener dogs. I love performing. I grew up in theatre. I was once a Burlesque lassie named Tipsy St. Swingsteen. Tipsy will reappear. Tipsy will live on forever. I rarely drink alcohol but don't need it to be wild and crazy. I go to bars to be with friends, drink water or pop, and freak people out with my karaoke. I sleep on a couch. I laugh loudly and my whole body shakes. Plus I will make some of the most inappropriate jokes you've ever heard. Ever. Check out my rambles (alexaistotallyobsessed.blogspot.com) and my photography (www.flickr.com/photos/loud_alexa/). To bands interested in using my pictures for whatever reason: I'll more than likely happily agree, just please ALWAYS give me credit.
Who I'd like to meet:
I'd like to have one (or a million) conversations with Bruce. I'd like to meet anyone who wants me to take their photos. I'd also like to hang out with Bob Saget for a day and travel around the world MANY times over with Anthony Bourdain.

Blood Root Mother





Jul 5 2009 7:39 PM

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 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:






Let us know what you think!

Peace,
Elliot

What's up?

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 :)

Again, here's the event info:

Trocaderos
107 3rd Ave N
Minneapolis, MN
18+ // $6 // 8pm


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 :)

Peace,
Elliot

What's up?

Just stopping by to show some love :-)

We appreciate that you're doing your own thing and glad that you're our friend!

I wanted to share an insight that I had recently. Blood Root Mother really believe 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 do something 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.
