This Minneapolis based alt-folk group employs a unique combination - 2 lead singers/songwriter/guitarists backed by a strong off-center rhythm section with a classically trained cellist.
After meeting for the first time in the summer of 2003 and then again in the spring of 2004, Bart Phillips and Jeromy Darling started playing and writing music together on a regular basis. What began as friendship developed into musical arrangements rooted in faith and common appreciation of each other's talent. O.D.Y.C. came out of that pairing.
In the summer of 2004, cellist Lucas Shogren, was introduced to Bart and Jeromy through mutual friends. Already touring the world with an award winning group, the Vols Quartet, Lucas brought a trained ear and incredible experience (including a solo with the great Ray Charles) to the band.
Friends and longtime local musicians from diverse musical backgrounds joined to add the backbone to the group: Jason Roath, (Dime Theory. Magic Pants, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, et al) on bass guitar brought a solid foundation stemming from touring with rockabilly and funk bands. Matt Terry, (Solidarity, Creeping Charlie, Chump, Wee Little Kelly) on drums brought a hardcore punk/alt rock aesthetic that added a unique flavor to their more traditional folk melodies.
Last Fall, after receiving some unexpected, private donations, ODYC completed their first album, Black Sun Rising. Offering an honest look at the state of humanity, and their place in it all, O.D.Y.C. waded through their own personal shortcomings, fears and an overarching commitment to truth. Favorable reviews followed and more and more their sound began to shape as something more interesting and unique to the Minneapolis scene.
The band is currently finishing material for their sophomore release (Coldest Kiss) under a new band name, their rock 'n rol alter-ego, The Great Upset (www.myspace.com/thegreatupset) with most songs already studio-ready. The band will be recording in May with an expected release date of Fall 2007. Look for them around town in the interim, shopping their music at local clubs, theaters and coffee shops. Cheers!
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 link to the video for a new tune called Run Bobby Run:
