Blending a variety of musical influences and sounds, nixon, a newly formed trio hailing from Minneapolis MN, bring their own perspective to the current music scene. In a time when everything is either indie or alternative, nixon produces its own guitar-driven sound - a straightforward, honest layering of impassioned questioning lyrics supported by the rich growl of distorted acoustic guitar, artful bass, and powerful drums. nixon creates challenging rock music that is both uniquely important and relevant in today's scene.

We'd love to see you out at Blarney's on Saturday! If you haven't seen us before, we play high-energy rock'n'roll from bands such as; Aerosmith, ACDC, Van Halen, Guns'N'Roses, Buckcherry, etc. See you Saturday!
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:
