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:
Blood Root Mother - "An Object to Crave" w/ The Magnetrons & Thought Thieves Friday, October 16th Station 4 201 E 4th St St Paul, MN 55101 9pm / $5 / 18+

Hey...how are things going? What's new? Any good plans for the 4th? Things are great over here..we have been busy building out a new studio with Pat DeLaGarza (former KORN studio engineer) to start recording in August for the new CD. Also playing Taste of Chicago on the 4th of July and opening up for CLUTCH (our favorite band!) @ The Rave in Milwaukee in August...things are very excellent! Cheers, -TANK Low of the Low
Hey, I never got a chance to thank you guys for the download code you sent me (I never could figure it out), but I got back Saturday and bought the album that night...nothing short of incredible, I hope to see you guys at the Varsity.
Take The 5th - love the energy as you guys are drinking at the fountain of 13th Floor Elevators that kicks into electric currents Joe Strummer would be proud to plug in with you. Keep your guitars plugged in and fire up the grill and if the food gets burnt "I'll take the 5th" My hunger is satisfied for the moment thanks to your nourishment for my soul. John- taking the 5th from the bottle to the courtroom
