John and Ryan decided to start a band in the summer of 2007, after a couple of years of Ryan dragging his feet (for no good reason).
A couple of months into it, Mike volunteered to be the lead singer. John and Ryan were skeptical (because everyone thinks they can sing), so they made Mike go to some karaoke bars in Minneapolis to see if he could actually carry a tune. Well it turns out he wasn't lying, so now they had a lead singer.
Well the 3 of them wanted a very dance oriented (electronic music, industrial, etc) sound, so they decided to purchase a few keyboards. However, someone to play these synths was needed, so they called upon their friend Ariane to fill the void. Once 2008 was in full swing, after nearly a year of bickering, the name "Thought Thieves" was agreed upon for this musical venture. Demo recordings and some lively live gigs followed shortly after.....
Now that brings us to 2009 and Thought Thieves released their debut EP "All I Pretend" in April. It is available to purchase on iTunes, Amazon, Napster, Rhapsody, etc., or even directly on this page. Look out for plenty of gigs in 09 around the local area......Minnesota and possibly beyond.
Come grab an advanced copy of the new disc from my fuzzgrunge noisepop band The Sextons, and as always bands, let me know how I can help out with your next tasty record!
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:
UZZA actually goes on first (10:00) for all you old timers out there! But you really should stay and hear the other bands. Big V's is located at 1567 University Ave W (University & Snelling) Saint Paul. $5 cover and free parking in the parking lot directly in back of Big V's in the alley.
UZZA doesn't take themselves too seriously and neither should you! We want you to laugh with us and dance our strange dance. Please bring your best alter ego!
This is it! THE show of the year. we are celebrating the release of our new cd "ANNO MMIX" with a FREE show. we have gathered our closest friends in CWN ANNWN, URN and RISINGFALL to celebrate with us.
