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:
Hey guys. How's the weekend starting? You guys should let me know if you're doing anything musically in the future. I'd love to work with you guys again.
hmmm..ok. So it's Eva's crazy cousin Kate. I'm movin back to St. Cloud so ya'll should probably come play some shows here so I can bring out some pals and have some fun!
Well at least things are still rolling. It's always nice when a good album gets attention. Are you guys going to be at Pachyderm for any of the festivals this summer?
