I'm also vegan, read comics, play Magic, play D&D, and Warhammer.

I'm Shane. I'm 16 and I live in Altoona. I like to play drums and guitar, ride bikes, and go to shows. I'm vegan. I'm also straight edge but I'm not an idiot about it. I want to be a doctor someday. I really love dried apricots.

I listen to these bands most of the time: Have Heart, Minor Threat, Hot Cross, Terror, Explosions In The Sky, Comeback Kid, Lightning Bolt, This Will Destroy You, Just Do It!, Shai Hulud, Saves The Day, Say Anything, In The Face of War, and Andrew W.K.

I currently play drums in Blue and Ska Band Go!, but I'm playing my last show with the ska band in December. I'm starting a new project called While The Ship Sinks in which I will do vocals.

I have played drums in a variety of shitty pop punk and rock bands:
Caught Stealing - 2008, no shows
All Is On - 2007-2008, 5 shows
KNHPPAFH - this was actually a pretty sweet jam band, we never practiced but we played 2 shows between 2006 and 2007.
A Red Banner - 2006, 2 shows
Poison Dart Frog - 2005-2006, a handful of shows that I choose not to remember.
Balgord - 2004-2005, this barely counts. We never played shows and we covered the Kings of Leon.

My name is Eric Michael Allen Crispin Wiebenga(E-Dawg, EMA) I am 22 almost 23 and I am also ashamed to say I live with Brandon Wiggins.

I have played in Circlepit Assholes-Guitar
Boy Meets World-Drums

I was the super secret 3rd member of the elusive Wolly Mammoth.

I am not vegan or straight edge. I enjoy long walks on the beach and soft jazz playing while reading poetry in the bath tub. Candles are prefered but not required.

John, 21.

I go to the University of Iowa, studying English. I have no clue what I'm doing with it. Since I study in IC I'm not in DSM that much anymore. I go to shows when I can. I'm trying vegetarianism yet again . . . (yeah dudes, I'm a vegbreaker) it's working out much better than before.

I skateboard and bike (commuting and cardio). I want to do RAGBRAI this year.

I did vocals for When We Fall ('06) back in the day and haven't done anything since -- though I liked to get something together (hit me up). I play the drums so-so. EDIT: I tried to play drums for Helen Keller's Ghost but failed horribly.

Some of my favorite bands are: Modest Mouse, A Silver Mt. Zion, Slayer, Articles of Faith, Black Flag, Limp Wrist, Elliot Smith, Municipal Waste, and Suicidal Tendencies.

If I think of more stuff I'll post.

More n00bs need to post.

I'm looking at you xholymanx.

I am Kyle
I am originally from Stinkin' Lincoln,NE and moved here about 3 years ago. I am a comm. college dropout who went to SWCC in Creston and came up to Dsm every weekend and eventually moved here. I am NOT vegan, but respect those who are, and I am NOT SxE, but respect those who are. You probly wonder about my user name(KYjellybelly) funny story, my friends and I a long time ago were at this girls house and she had a bunch of lube(don't know why) so we thought it would be fun to have belly races on the wood floors with lube, I was kyjellybelly.

In lincoln I played guitar in Nuclear Goat Head(Stoner/grind shit) who only played 3 basement shows and called it quits. And also played bass in The Broke 4(punk/ska). We put out a shitty CD and went our ways.

I am currently playing guitar for Die Mutts and would love to start something new and original.

I am Tyler Larson.
I am 20.
I talk a lot of shit, (where hilarity ensues...ask party kyle.) apparently online.
I'm in Just Do It! I play the mic.
I book shows but not too often, but I help with fliers and shit when I can.
these are the most played artists on my last.fm:
Trash Talk, New Found Glory, Terror, 100 Demons, Another Breath, Have Heart, Ringworm, Death Before Dishonor.

& just because this made me laugh..

my name is kyler vande kieft... im a chubby 21 year old who lives in pella, iowa. ive booked some pretty cool shows in pella, oskaloosa, and des moines. sometimes i do this little label thing in my spare time, i call it ruleogy records. i used to stay at the haunted basement and bullshit with joe for days at a time. some of the best times ive had. im currently a junior at central college here in pella. i will be studying abroad in the netherlands next semester, leiden to be more specific (about a 15-20 minute train ride from amsterdam). ive been vegetarian for about 6 years, and straight edge for about 5... who really cares though?

for the last 6 months my 15 favorite bands (according to last.fm) have been, in this order: in the face of war, comadre, rosa, in loving memory, meandhimcallitus, limp wrist, saves the day, in defence, muddy waters, das oath, black market fetus, hercules, old scratch revival singers, hewhocorrupts, the bronx.

Hi. My names is James Theodore. I'm 44 so y'all better show some respect. I first posted a listing for a show on this board a couple years ago after googling "music forums des moines" not knowing that y'all were a buncha smartass young punks who would tell me I suck dick and my band sucks. I was all like "These fuckers are talking shit now, but it won't be long before I have them coming to my shows".

I play in a sloppy drunk rock n roll band by the name of Johnny Reeferseed and The High Rollers. We've been around for almost three years now. We are currently in the midst of recording a CD. http://www.myspace.com/jrshighrollers

I've promoted a few shows with national acts some with success and lost my ass on a couple.

My favorite place to play is The Briar Patch and hippy festivals. My favorite bars to play is currently The Hull and Byron's in Pomeroy

I've also played with The Creekdwellers, Mr Green Jeans, Melody Makers, Jethro's Junkyard, and many sit in gigs. My goal musically is too make enough money so I can quit my job.

My favorite bands and influences are The Rolling Stones, KISS, Prince, The Faces, George Clinton & P Funk,Afroman, Public Enemy, Ice T, NWA, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Hank III, Peter Tosh, Red Sovine, Spade Cooley, Jimmy Castor Bunch, James Brown, Willie Nelson, Chuck Berry, Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf etc. I like most kinds of music except that "new cuntry" crap. My first real rock n roll concert was Foreigner with The Ramones opening in 1978. I'd never heard of The Ramones, but I dug the hell out of them.

I have three cats and an Aussie Shepherd/Pitbull mix

I work a day job for a group of medical clinics.

I love burritos from the Taco Jerez wagon on SE 14th & Pioneer, hot wings, Miller High Life, young fat girls and WEED!!

SORRY...for real...I TOTALLY Forgot...though i don't know how i could forget about a 26 minute song...sorry dawg
i also played guitar in FunEnder 07

My name is Pat.

I am nineteen years old and I am an English major at Iowa State. I love to write. I enjoy partying and just hanging out with my friends and my girlfriend. I love horror movies and a variety of music. I love doom, but I also enjoy hippie jam bands. I love Pentagram, Phish, Dead Meadow, Boris, Dungen, The Beatles, The Brian Jonestown Massacre (and countless BJM offshoots), Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, Electric Wizard, Black Sabbath, Godspeed You Black Emperor, and so much more. Live music is my favorite thing and I do my best to see as much as I can. I like to think I have an open mind and I'll like anything as long as it's good.

I did vocals for a metal band with two of my best friends in junior high/early high school. We never played shows, but I had a great time. I would love to do vocals/play harmonica for a psychedelic doom rock band.

I also intend on purchasing a synthesizer in the near future and would love to meet people who are interested in ambient/drone experimental electronic music.

If anyone is interested in starting a doom/stoner rock band or just want to jam out and chill, let me know.

im zach. 32. sing for Knuckled Down. first band. i used to "run" Da Bassment. short lived, basically one summer. used to bounce for hairy marys.

i have 4 kids and 3 jobs. im too busy to have any hobbies. i do nothing but family stuff or work or random shows or band stuff. i rarely have time to hang with friends which is a bummer.

i hate drunks and drugs. i like to smoke cigars. i eat hella meat and bad stuff. im fat. i never went to college but did go to trade school and it paid off. im a license gun owner and im a good shot. i dont hunt, that shits boring.

i dont have last.fm or anything like that but ive been playing most lately: Strife, Biohazard, Life Of Agony, Icepick, Until The End, 100 Demons, Terror, Misfits, Cheech, OLC, Run DMC

i'm luke, i'm 22 and live in pella. i've lived in 4 different houses in pella and am now living in a loft (the wolf hangar) above a meat market (where i've worked for 3 years). mildly interested in little things here and there i was mainly interested in music so i taught myself how to play guitar, drums, and bass. favorite bands: metallica, modern life is war, at the drive-in, the locust, isis.
this is going to look ridiculous but these are all the bands i've been in that played shows.

from the get-go-guitar
carson radio-guitar

color cast-drums

*i filled in on an enkido tour/played guitar on a tyborn jig track
i like to drink and try not to smoke. FOOD RULES!

i'm ed. i'm an LPN and will hopefully be an RN in may.

i'm in tyborn jig. (and shrill when we're all in iowa) i've been in a lot of other bands, most of which never played shows or enough shows.

i have a tattoo that says Fun Or Death.

i like to ride bikes when it's not fucking cold.

I'm Ryan. I'm 27 years old. Lifelong Southsider. I'm kind of a big deal around here.

I work at Firestone building tires. I'm in the union, it's not too bad and it pays decent. Hard and dirty work though sometimes.

Born into a fairly normal, decent blue collar family. My parents are still married and I have one sister and a nephew born over the summer.

I was in the Marine Corps Reserve for about 7 years, did one combat tour in Iraq. My job was infantry. I kind of miss it sometimes and realize this has been a big part of who I am.

Currently trying to trudge my way through school as more of a hobby than anything. I ended up with about 90 credits from DMACC with a business admin AS and liberal arts AA and I'm now working towards a bachelor's in liberal arts from the University of Indiana's distance program. This has been keeping me very busy lately. My job pays for it, so I might as well take advantage of it. Currently taking classes in human variation, geography, the late plays of Shakespeare and I'll be starting a French and European history class shortly.

I like lifting weights (and shooting Iraqis), try to eat healthy and sometimes get into running. I have five different containers of protein powder open in my house, so I suppose that makes me something of a meat head (3 different flavors and two different types). I haven't had alcohol in over a year. Never officially added "straight edge" to my subcultural repertoire but I live it. There's some talk of some interesting things happening with that, but that's all I'll say for now. Always a skinhead though.

I'm a total Anglophile. I'm all about British style, music, history, literature, culture and so-on. That's what I'm into and also my heritage. I guess I take interest in most other European countries' cultures (and the cultures of European-influenced countries like the US, Argentina, New Zealand, etc). It's safe to say I have a very unapologetic Eurocentric view of the world, to say the least. I enjoy traveling to these places when I can and in the mean time reading about them, eating their foods, etc.

Musically I'm into punk, reggae, Oi!!!, mod and various other stuff. Favorites: The Jam, Madness, English Beat, Skrewdriver, The Specials, No Remorse, Cocksparrer, Minor Threat, Generation X, Rezillos, The Lambrettas, Secret Affair, Stone Roses, Templars, The Pogues, Elvis Costello, Oasis, Blur, Above The Ruins, Prince Buster, Derrick Morgan, Violent Femmes, Blue Eyed Devils, Last Resort, Combat 84 and many more. I collect vinyl and probably have the second largest reggae collection in Iowa. Looking to greatly add to it next month in London.

Politically right-leaning, although I swing to the left on SOME economic issues and most environmental ones. Pat Buchanan would make the greatest president ever.

Contrary to my avatar, I am not Juan Manuel de Rosas. Here's a pic of me at Cafe Tortoni in Buenos Aires:

My name is Elliot Imes. 25 years old. That's a quarter century. I was born in St. Louis. My dad died when I was 3, and the rest of us moved to Des Moines when I was 6. Aside from a brief stay at Kirkwood in Cedar Rapids, I've been here ever since.

I stay because I have great friends here and love the vibes. Occasionally, Des Moines sucks. But even when I go visit California, I come back here and realize I'm in the right place.

I have a girlfriend, so ladies, hands off. Oh wait, exactly zero girls post here anymore.

I love lots of good television shows. I also watch a lot of football, basketball and professional wrestling. I will fiercely debate the merits of each one.

I'll be going back to school this January, to complete my English degree at Drake. The ultimate goal is to become a rock journalist.

Obviously, music is my main obsession. Brief list of favorite bands would be At the Drive-in, Sleater-Kinney, The Ramones, Bad Religion, The Jesus Lizard, Dillinger Four, AC/DC and Tom Waits.

Since everybody else is doing it, I'll make the full list of bands I've been in:

The Whoremoans/Lost Cause (January 1998-August 2002)
In Loving Memory (October 2000-November 2000, this is why I barely count it)
The Mezzanine (November 2001-July 2004)
