Added a new video: "Christmas by Bratwurst" http://www.reverbnation.com/c./poni/112918294 #video

Press

“Perhaps one of the greatest of Homegrown traditions: Catching the rare Bratwurst performance. A bit of industrial music you can dance to and on-stage weirdery that equals performance art. If art is supposed to make you feel something, this band succeeds. This is terrifying. Set up takes the length of a set as the band fills the stage with props and seemingly builds a piece of percussion. There is a mannequin head, a street sign, a metal garbage can and something with wheels. In the background, there is a video that incorporates commercials for meat and Hormel chili as well as grizzly murder scenes including something from the late 70s horror flick “Suspiria.” Don’t forget the power saw. Tyler Scouton starts by bashing away at a pinata filled with meat, then gets right into the band’s signature move. He balls up the raw meat into his fist, holds it over his head and squeezes it until red drips down his face and on to his white shirt. Then he rubs it into his face, like....”

— Christa Lawler, While You Were In...

“The 14th annual Homegrown Music Festival will feature spare acoustic singers, rockabilly bands and at least one industrial punk act banging on a pipe while its lead singer grips red and dripping raw meat.”

— Christa Lawler, Duluth News Tribune

“Homegrown takes over downtown Duluth and a few fringe venues on Friday and Saturday with The Keep Aways, The Branditos, the Blasphemists, The Iron Range Outlaw Brigade, Circa A.M. and DJ Dyami playing the closing slots around town. On Saturday pace yourself for Bratwurst, Bill Flannagan, The People Say Fox, The Tisdales, DJ Nola, The Fontanelles and Two Many Banjos playing the late shows.”

— New Tribune staff, Duluth News Tribune

“Tyler Scouton, Ben Tryton and Jason Ratajek have put together a very smart, tight industrial band that crosses the blurry line between self-indulgent, never-ending electronica and fun party music and lands well inside the realm of fun party music. High-energy and bopping, these beatsters have captured the essence of light-hearted modern music. This is music as far removed from snobby electronic pioneers such as the Nice and Klaus Schulze as the Black Keys are from Dream Theater. “The Wedding Feast” is a song to listen for, layered and multi-dimensional, but by midnight, one might be in a state where it is more of an experience than a recital.”

— Duluth Homegrown 2012 Bio

“Bratwurst is Tyler Scouton, Ben Tryon and Jason Ratajek — three Krautrock-influenced industrial-punk weirdos who’ve been bewildering the local scene for 11 years now. Fresh from headlining a couple of gigs at R.T. Quinlan’s Saloon, the band is ready to “rock your pants off” this Homegrown. Expect lots of jarring samples, pummeling drum loops and noises you didn’t know could come from a keyboard. ”

— Twin Ports Nightlife, Twin Ports Nightlife

“Some of Saturday’s closers include Bratwurst at RT Quinlan’s, Two Many Banjos at Pizza Luce, Teague Alexy at The Rex — following a performance by Retribution Gospel Choir — The People Say Fox at Lake Avenue Café and The Fontanelles at Roscoe’s Pioneer Bar.”

— News Tribune staff, Duluth News Tribune

"I have a hard time advising people on what bands to check out during Homegrown Music Festival. I was seated next to some newbies on Wednesday night at Chester Creek Cafe while two guys looked at the Field Guide like it was Sudoku. One wanted to hear metal; The other wanted Duluth’s Ke$ha or Justin Bieber. The former request was a little easier than the latter. Homegrown seems void of pop pageantry. I favor a spectacle. Bratwurst, I’m looking at you. This band has been around forevs and were pretty much numero uno on my wish list. Their lore is the stuff of urban legends. An entire stage reeking of raw meat. They toss it into the audience. Friday night’s set at RT Quinlan’s did not disappoint. Tyler Scouton, dressed in a white lab coat, ripping into — what, a packaged deer heart? Blood on his face and down the front of his coat. Spitting bites of it, rubbing it on his face. All the while, power tools and synths, industrial techno performance art. Whatta wonderful mess........
