Minneapolis rock n' roll band The Fillmores died suddenly and peacefully on the evening of Thursday January 3rd, 2008 in their Nicollet Avenue rehearsal space. The Fillmores are best known for playing their hit song "East Bank Gurls" during a Ramones tribute show in 2004 and for performing on a boat once. The five-piece band are preceded in death by recently deceased Minneapolis bands Public Displays of Infection, The Please Don't Hurt Me, Black Strap, Grickle Grass and Dangerboy and the Road Vultures. They are survived by former members Harper Zwicky and Neil Pederson. Loved by twenty-three, hated by nine, and ignored by millions, The Fillmores always attempted to show their audience a good time, even if they weren't showing their audience a good band. From their early days in basements to their later days in bars, their five-year career brought smiles to the drunken faces that were kind enough to show up. The Fillmores will be sorely missed.
Funeral arrangements are scheduled for …Friday February 15th @ the Zombie House in SE Minneapolis.
Please make memorials in the form of drinks for Trevor, Damien, and Mike.
If you're around on Thursday, December 10th, we are playing a show at Mario's Keller Bar. I don't know if you've been there, but it's a very cool place. It's a comfortable space, the room sounds great and they have a stellar beer selection.
Also, we will be playing ALL NIGHT! We'll play some funky, bluesy, and soulful music. We'll project live video onto a 9 ft screen. We'll play some older material that hasn't been heard in awhile, as well as some brand new songs that've never been heard. All bets are off!! We'd love it if you'd come down and listen/party with us!
Brother can you spare a buck? Marijuana Music Award Winning Songs, "Light 'Em Up" feat. Afroman and "Brother Can You Spare A Dime" now available on itunes & CD Baby.
I just wanted to stop by and wish you a happy Sunday! I hope that the weekend brought you fun adventures, relaxation, and contentment :)
I was going to go camping this weekend, but this is definitely NOT camping weather. So me and some friends went to check out Dueling Pianos. Those guys are amazing - they can play just about any song that's been on the radio between 1950 and 2005.
Anyways, I wanted to let you know about a show we have @ Station 4 on Friday, October 16th. We are debuting a series of one time only performance art pieces. This one 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. The night will be full of creative, interesting, high-energy music, good drinks and good times.
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+
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:
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 :)
A brutal night of original music, and a chance for fans to lay down their support for live broadcasting of independents in the twin cities. Tonight, March 2. Kitty Cat. It won't be the same party without you. Hockey gear optional.
