Iowa Basement Tapes #17 10-25-2018

Night Listeners of 98.9FM KFMG - Dude, October is coming to an end! I hope everyone has been enjoying the Halloween season to the fullest potential. Tonight was our last show for October. The next time you hear my voice it will be November. I can't say much will change around here. I will still be playing the best in the heartland's alternative music but Iowa Basement Tapes is in the process of syndicating to other stations across the state of Iowa. It has been something that has always been in the works and I hope more music is discovered along the way. Tonight I spin tunes from Iowa City's Milk Duct Tape who does a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla", Sioux City Pete, Samuel Locke Ward, The Vahnevants and Sires. - Kristian Day #trustkristianday Milk Duct Tape - "Gojira" / Gojira (Iowa City) Sioux City Pete and The Beggers - "Farmlands" / Necro Blues (Sioux City) Person Whale - "Boogeyman" / Last Train Out Of Dogtow...
