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!!
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 coming 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 :)
Please come out and support some great local music! Music starts at 9:30pm and 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 :)
