Re: where all the bands at?

why aren't the high school kids starting bands and ripping shit up?! I've been asking myself the same question. The Yelps played in the spring and they were really good but more on the 90s alternative side. Glitter Density also played a show in the spring. More of a singer songwriter thing. Good th...

Re: Leftys Last Night

In answering the question, no I haven't read anything on Facebook. I've been far too busy working on a number of large shows including The SWMRS and The Frights that I announced earlier this week. The reality is that there was a misunderstanding and I would love to go into the detail but there is a ...

New UA and 35+ Years of Des Moines Live Music

Re: Just say no to band battles, pay to play, & pre-sale tic

I think the biggest problem is that the venues do not understand that having live music at their venue is a promotion and a form of advertising. Let's face there isn't a member of this board that hasn't gone to a bar or shit hole that they wouldn't have if they didn't have a shows. this is a good p...

Re: Just say no to band battles, pay to play, & pre-sale tic

Here's my more than likely unwanted $1.50 worth. First off and for most no band should ever pay to play. There is a great deal of reasons but the biggest is that as mentioned earlier, it only makes for lazy promoters. The biggest problem facing promoters is as a middle man they are taking a majority...

Re: Des Moines Hardcore

This is all why I'm confused by the marketing term of post-hardcore. First because I have to wonder if this is post the hardcore punk movement of the 80s or is the one from the 90s? Or is music that is less pure and dedicated as it once was? I THINK YOU HIT THE SPOT WITH " marketing term "...
