   About Famous Volcanoes


The debut release from genre-hopping Minneapolis four-piece Famous Volcanoes spews musical lava of full-on rock, rootsy Americana and multi-layered pure pop. The Volcanoes proudly wear their influences on their ragged shirtsleeves and put a uniquely Midwestern spin on a Crazy Horse meets quirk pop sound. The Famous Volcanoes are husband and wife duo Robb Schwartz (guitar and vocals) and Toni Schwartz (drums), Dave Berg (guitars) and Bruce McBride (bass). They have been perfecting their inventive music on stages from Minneapolis (Fine Line/ Hexagon/ Terminal Bar) to Los Angeles (The Echo). After much experimenting the band has been able to capture the power and complexity of the volcano on compact disc. The debut “Enjoy the Music of Famous Volcanoes” is available at record shops in the Twin Cities area and at band performances.

Blood Root Mother

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
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 :)

Hey Famous Volcanoes!

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
