Jason started Happy Medium as a solo project in 2003, recording a lo-fi album "Live in the Closet" in a makeshift closet studio that year for Lester's Records. In 2005, Happy Medium's self-titled album was recorded with a revolving cast of guest musicians in live sessions with everyone playing together at the same time. Nick and Matt became full-time members of the band following these sessions.
Happy Medium's self-titled album album is out now on Lester's Records. The album features guest contributions from JAR of Beatrix*JAR, Derek Sandbeck of The Southtown Avengers and Casey Prescott of Sherbetty. Get more information here.
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 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:
Friday, June 26th Trocaderos 107 3rd Ave N Minneapolis, MN 18+ // $6 // 8pm
Please come out and support some great local music!! Music starts at 9:30pm, 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 :)
