   About the cans
The Cans are a Twin Cities based power-pop band formed by four friends around a campfire in the summer of 2000. Heavily influenced by Guided By Voices, Big Star, The Beatles, The Cure, New Order, and Ryan Adams, their sound is catchy and danceable. Infectious melodies, soaring guitars, and solid rhythms make this a band you won’t forget!

Blood Root Mother





Jul 10 2009 5:50 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

What's up with The Cans?

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

Announcing! A show of of epic proportions crammed into a space no bigger than the average living room! There will be acts of courage! Acts of bravery! There will be unmentionable acts! There will be mentionable acts! There will be talking! Drinking! There will acts so random that they aren't even worth repeating! Only three bands though, sorry.
