   About THE SKULLCRANES
The northern edge of Minneapolis, Minnesota. A blue collar inner rim suburb with a sister city of Lomianki, Poland. Columbia Heights has always been the home of factories, railroad yards, power lines and abandoned warehouses. "Nowhere to go but up" may as well be written on the signs welcoming you to the C.H. Most people only visit Columbia Heights briefly while going through the city using one of its main roads such as Central or University Avenues. Some would claim that the only good thing to ever come out of Columbia Heights is its relatively low property taxes or its array of ethnic restaurants. That is about to change. Enter, The Skullcranes. A four piece band who has proclaimed themselves the "kings of trailer park punk". In the year 2000 this mess started with reasons to ignore the "enjoy in moderation" suggestions on the outside of beer and whiskey bottles. "We called that practicing" says Dan Laubach, original bass player for The Skullcranes. Today the band is rounded out by Beau Larson on the drums, Jay Wahl on guitar and Mike Johnson on guitar and vocals. These four have been in many bands in the Minneapolis scene for years dating back to the early nineties. The eight plus years The Skullcranes have been together has been a germination of what they are today. A loud, fast, non-political, tounge in cheek dirty mess best served with a cocktail or two in a smoky room with no windows. Somehow melding together country, 70's rock, early eighties English metal and early eighties east coast punk with a sprinkle of Auto Trader magazine, The Skullcranes are sure to make you want to dig out that muscle tee we all know you have tucked away in your closet. ..

SKULLCRANES, THE:
Columbia Heights Nights: CD
Humorcore punkers, The Skullcranes, barrel out of the starting gate. With galloping garage punk rhythms and solid beats, the album revolves around beer, being broke, and smoking herb. “Douche” throws in a banjo as a comical oddity to bridge verses, but “Jessica Lange,” who they have an unexplainable crush on, is my favorite track, hands down. Funny stuff for those who like to laugh while they’re circling the pit. Recommended. –Kristen K (Crustacean)
Blood Root Mother





Jul 9 2009 3:34 AM

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

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

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 :)

Yo Johnson and co. This .matt character ain't kidding, I strongly recommend your attendance at the show Saturday. We're talkin' all day rock music and beer, and you've gotta see this band Rivet. Unless of course you're busy doing that in-store signing at Tower Records.
