Sawbones is the brainchild of lead singer-guitarist, Jonathon TeBeest (ex-drummer, Rasputina; current drummer, 3 Minute Hero). After being on the road for 10 years, Jonathon decided to take the songs he had written during that time and put together a band comprised of old friends and skilled musicians from the twin cities (current and ex: 3MH, Skullcranes, Kwang, Belfast Cowboys, The Grande Machine, God's Favorite Band, Jack Brass Band) to give them life.
The sticky goodness on the bottom of the boot - that end of the carnival feeling the listener is left with, is what makes the band growl. Sawbones is the best dirty-swamp-bluegrass-rock n' roll band out there!
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 :)
Hey. It's me again. It's like, 4 in the morning and I'm tearing up the internet. The only one of you I really know is J. I like him. I hope to catch you guys soon. In the meantime, I'll keep an eye on your pics in case you post anything really smokin. Later.
You guys look awesome! I hope I can come to hear you on Tuesday. Thanks for the add. (I've never popped anyone's comment cherry before. I did just do that, right?) Cock-a-doodle-doo!
