About Me

TEN COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT ROOT SHOOT LEAF1. root shoot leaf DO in fact taste the color purple when eating hamburgers. 2. root shoot leaf DID once try to have armadillo assassinated; in the band’s defense, the armadillo was a rather curmudgeonly sort. 3. in the background of every recorded song by root shoot leaf, you can hear dustin monk scatting in homage to his favorite jazz man, louie armstrong. 4. the james joyce novel, portrait of the artist as a young man, is NOT actually based off root shoot leaf’s record, the gallows. 5. dustin and a lynn monk ARE brother and sister; they are also married. 6. contrary to popular belief, no one in root shoot leaf has ever written a song. 7. root shoot leaf DOES NOT have a fifth member because that would be going against the four man band that solidifies their entire belief in rock and roll (though they do have a sixth and sometimes seventh member). 8. root shoot leaf IS very patriotic; they close every set with “america, the beautiful.” 9. every member of root shoot leaf is over the age of 45. 10. root shoot leaf loves kayaking.
