RisingSide is an acoustic band out of Minneapolis, Minnesota consisting of Katie Lundberg (Guitar/Vocals), Tony Portwood (Lead Guitar) and now we have the pleasure of playing with Ryan Worthman (Drums) and Dan Olmschenk (Bass). Working the grind of the Minneapolis music scene, we aspire to live our dreams. While not only continuing to play and promote our music, we are currently working on a side project entitled "The Doors: An Acoustic Rock Opera" - An audio and visual experience based on an original story by Katie Lundberg. We hope to have a large production release of the finished project. Supported and encouraged by our friends and family we've decided to make a name for ourselves in the local music community. Come out and have a listen when you have the chance. Nothing is more important to us than making music for you. Music is life - it's all around us.^_^
We are debuting a project called Sonic Transformations. Every month or so we will present a new audio-visual performance based on a different theme/story. We will be collaborating with artists and other creative musicians along the way so let us know if you have something you'd want to bring into this project.
The first in the series is called "AN OBJECT TO CRAVE". Live music and visuals based on a short story about life, love, loss, fantasy, obsession and death.
Another group of mine, The Magnetrons, which plays an exciting and innovative Livetronica set (i.e. STS9, Disco Biscuits, The Histronic) will also be playing. It will be a musical adventure, and we hope that you can come participate :)
Here's the info:
Blood Root Mother - "An Object to Crave" w/ The Magnetrons & Thought Thieves Friday, October 16th Station 4 201 E 4th St St Paul, MN 55101 9pm / $5 / 18+
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 :)
Glad you're here. Hope you can make one of my 7 birthday week shows, Mar 1-7. If not, the Monday and Friday will be broadcast live on twincitiesradio. net. Say hello the best way you know how.
