   About SideFX
Formed in November 2003, the SideFX band has been rocking clubs all-across Southern Minnesota with their fun-filled, high-energy "mini rock concerts". If front man/ lead vocalist Erik Mann's impressive singing ability doesn't blow you completely away, his terrific personality and zany antics surely will! Jim Piampiano on bass guitar commandingly lays down a rock solid musical foundation. Jason Wachtel masterfully drives the drums with chest-pounding, booty-moving beats. And skilled guitarists Ed Hiller and Chris Johnson provide hot licks and tasty chops with the killer guitar tone that can only come from quality guitar equipment and ballsy all-tube amps. Together, the members of this band are quite something to behold--both musically and visually. Great music, wacky antics and stage props, lots of crowd interaction, cool lighting effects...the list goes on. You owe it to yourself to check out a SideFX show at a club near you!

What's up?

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 :)

Peace,
Elliot

Hey SideFX!

Since you seem to have good taste in music and live around the cities, I wanted to let you know about our show THIS 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
