Iowa hardcore presentation/show Friday


It makes sense that just a few months after my brother graduated from Drake that the school would offer a "The Meaning of Punk" seminar. That trumps the coolest class I took in college (Sci Fi/Fantasy Writing) by far.

This Friday a student in the class, Martin Roth, will be giving a presentation on Iowa hardcore tied to the class. It starts at 6 p.m. Friday at the Vaudeville Mews and features Nathan Morton Eric Creach, Dan Siskind, Nate Fetus and Jeffrey Eaton. It's a good representation of Des Moines' hardcore/punk scene from the 80s to today.

After that In Defence and Rat Storm will perform. Based on this event alone, I think Martin deserves an A for the course. Admission is $7.

school??

I guess they wanted people that would "church it up" for the class.

I'd have just stood there and said - what's Punk you ask? simple, Listen to music, get drunk, break shit, and piss people off! Fuck You, you all owe me $5 caugh it up, rich kids and study your lesson

i dont understand.
i made sure to miss the speeches.
i liked rat storm but did not like the in between song banter. in defence is in defence.

this really felt like selling out my youth and culture to a bunch of rich kids.
why were the only bands from out of state?

"if youre not now, you never were."

because it was put together by someone who knows nothing about the subject, and asked the first people he saw that he thought were "punk".

stupid idots, next semester they'll learn ebonics. Vanilla Ice, Eminem, and Tiger Woods will host the class

stupid idots, next semester lets learn how to talk like rapers
actually it was done by some guy that was involved. he had some band in 83? nate told me the name i cant remember...
i probably shouldve gone in earlier but ... i got upset like a whiny little baby. watching college students "slam dance, mosh, pogo" or whatever it was they were doing for the first time.
rat storms singer used to be one of his students. i thought they sounded like antischism.

i know im supposed to be why dont we all get along and shit but punk rock was what i was driven towards by being excluded from everything else as a kid. it helped me be me and not a corporate drone. i never fit in and still dont really.... im rambling.

That explains why it was only outta state bands. either way, I think it's silly. cus you can put 20 diffrent people in a room and get 20 diffrent opinions of what it means to be punk. espically after over 30 years and all the punk sub genres that have poped up in that time
