Poosa comes as a wave of originality to crash the finest tide pool party. Poosa is like a mimosa. They're going to show you a new view of the moon and you'll kick your own ass if you don’t look up to see. Melissa Sonnen, the front of Poosa (Poosa is actually her nickname since childhood) is charming and childlike in voice and spirit. Rob Stealcheat (Squidballs, Touchy Feely) is her accompanying guitarist and song-writing partner. He is the land she is the sea. Together they are the shore. The two of them sing a cover of Shane and Sinead’s “Haunted by the Ghost” as though they took a fine sea worthy vessel all the way to the beach and crashed it on the jagged rocks. From the prettiest melodic acoustic track “Brighton Beach” to the rockers “Do You Want to go to Paris”, “Another London Sunday” and “Crazy Colored Boats” Poosa is the future retro. The electric Poosa will, in fact, rock the boat. With everybody’s drummer, Jason Deming (Beangirl, the Odd, Peeling Wheelie), and bass from the bottom of a bass boat by Paul MacFarland (Sam Planet and the Overcomers) - Poosa plays like a surfer in a red bikini. Recorded and mixed under the nurturing care of Rich Mattson (Glenrustles, Ol’ Yeller), you’ll even find Rich wading with surf guitar on “Moon of Sin”.
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 :)
Since you seem to have good taste in music and live around the cities, I wanted to let you know about our show next Thursday, February 26th. We will be burning down the house at Trocaderos Nightclub in Minneapolis (107 3rd Ave N). If you've been there before, I don't have to tell you it's one of the best venues in the Twin Cities - classy atmosphere, great drinks, and the sound is always fantastic. We're gonna be recording live for a DVD and this is definitely gonna be the coolest show we've done yet. So COME ON DOWN! The show is 18+, it starts at 9pm, and the cover is a mere $5.
Hope to see you there!
Peace, Elliot

Thanks for the friendship. I'll have to get out and catch one of your shows this winter. I especially like the "Brighton Beach" song. HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Chris
World’s greatest lawyer is ready to cross-examine you Does watching Denny Crane get you in the mood? It does me, and I’m Denny Crane. Let’s get frisky together Saturday Night as we watch DVD highlights from the fourth season of my greatest legal cases and personal exploits. From there, the next step is love, and just as in my law career, I’ve never failed to satisfy. Denny Crane.
