Hello!!

If you're around on Thursday, December 10th, we are playing a FREE show at Mario's Keller Bar. I don't know if you've been there, but it's a very cool place. It's a comfortable space, the room sounds great and they have a stellar beer selection.

Also, we will be playing ALL NIGHT! We'll play some funky, bluesy, and soulful music. We'll project live video onto a 9 ft screen. We'll play some older material that hasn't been heard in awhile, as well as some brand new songs that've never been heard. All bets are off!! We'd love it if you'd come down and listen/party with us!

Here are the details:




Hope to see ya there!!!

Peace,
Elliot

Kick ass new issue! Thanks for the review of 10w40's "Rooster in the Henhouse"! Don't forget our show tomorrow night at the 501 Club with The Goondas, Guzzlemug, and Dylan Posa & Three Cheers for One Dead... We'll be playing material that we're beginning pre-production on for the next release, which, believe it or not, features some actual melodies and early Minneapolis punk/pop leanings... Why? Who knows? Maybe we're regressing.

Hey there!!

What's new in your world???

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:

Thanks so much for the kind words, Tom! - I've proudly posted your review on my website (with full credit, of course), and linked it to my facebook page as well. We're so glad you like these recordings of ours.

Hello!

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:






Let us know what you think!

Peace,
Elliot

Thanks Tom.
