We first got together in the early 90's under the name EARLY WARNING. With a common ground of 60's and 70's FM rock radio, we immediately began playing The Who, Cream, Hendrix and Zeppelin with some inspired originals at keg parties. This lasted a couple of years until a split as the covers got old and the originals needed more direction. Darren moved on and eventually became the lead guitarist in alt/country rockers AMERICAN PAINT, releasing two CDs on No Alternative Records. Ryan and Aaron started a heavy-duty trio called ENDORPHIN and put out their own disc. Summer of 2001 Darren started writing and singing original material and called on the Anderson brothers to try out. The energy for this new material was instant and this newly reformed group became THE REVAMPS. We began playing the local Minneapolis club scene while building material and recording two self released CDs. 2006 found the band with producer/engineer Jacques Wait (The Soviettes, Ouija Radio) recording the full length album "Love To Lose" at Flowers Studios in Minneapolis. "Love To Lose" was featured on the first RIFT magazine compilation in 2006. Buy our CD or download tracks through the CD Baby link below. Or at local stores Cheapo, Eclipse and Roadrunner Records. Keep watching those skies!!

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!
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:
