Holy mother of invention. The Blowout is tonight. We have all kinds of crazy crap to do before the doors open (Good Morning America, pull-ups, pot roast) so let’s make this brief: Please show up as early as you can. If not to ensure entrance, then because a full night of entertainment begins AT EIGHT PM SHARP. That’s right. At doors. … Read More

Two False Hopes
Yeah, the rumors are true: At eight o’clock on December 14th, as the doors creak open to welcome you to the Blowout 3, Doomtree will be issuing TWO new False Hopeses. Ouch. First off, Paper Tiger is dropping his debut disc, and let me tell you it’s real real solid. Seven knocking instrumentals and a track featuring our very own Dessa. Get … Read More
Blowout 3
Yes ma’am, it’s getting to be that time of year again: Mother Earth is preparing herself for slumber, and as soon as she fully drifts off Doomtree will be sneaking out of the house with a twenty we nicked from her purse, half a fifth of Hot 100, and a taste for trouble. We plan to once again satisfy that … Read More
Coupla big shows
Big coupla weeks for shows, peoples. Couldn’t help but get on the innanet and holler about it. First (and perhaps weirdest) we have Dessa’s psuedo-real performance at IPR on Thursday the 6th at 8:00pm CST. This is what’s happening: Dessa will be headlining the show with several hand-picked openers, and despite the venue’s limited “actual capacity” the whole thing will be streamed live via the … Read More

Oh, this old thing? Shucks. Hey, as long as we’re flirting, WHAT ARE YOU DOING FRIDAY?

The whole Doomtree family will be in the house, and God willing so will you. This will … Read More
Hip Hop & Harmony Festival Cancelled
Despite what you may have heard or read, this year’s Hip Hop & Harmony festival is cancelled. Don’t go to Harmony Park this weekend. There is nothing for you there. Stay home. There is undoubtedly a patch of woods near your house where you can go eat mushrooms and juggle a stick, then get to sleep in your own bed. It … Read More
Electric Fetus 40th Anniversary
On Friday the Thirteenth Doomtree will play the least- scary show possible when we help celebrate the Electric Fetus’ 40th anniversary at First Ave. 40 years in the independent record retailing business is a serious accomplishment, especially considering that 40 years ago popular music consisted almost entirely of a guy with an accordian hawking cure-all tonics. They’ve adapted with the times, though, … Read More
Two Shows Coming Up
Two shows coming up in the next few days, friends: On Sunday (April, fool), Sims joins indie rap powerhouse Glue at the Triple Rock. Mmm!

And then (talking to you now, New York) Dessa does the Dessa … Read More
