Iowa Basement Tapes

Night Listeners - I am recording the show this week from Bryan, Texas. I'm sharing a hotel room with Dylan Sires and as I sit producing this weeks content he is blasting through the forward of a new book. So he will not actually be joining me on this weeks episode. I got new material from Artificial Stars in Sioux City. They have a tight alternative/pop sound going for them that I think everyone will love. I also got some first time plays tonight from Tuff Jerks out of Fairfield, 3 Finger Better out of Des Moines, and more material by the shortlived funk skunk band, The Grifters. Hear us every Thursday at 9PM on 98.9FM KFMG - Des Moines & KCOE - Coe College Cedar Rapids . You can now hear us every Friday at 11PM on 90.3FM KWIT - Sioux City & 90.7FM KOJI - Okoboji .

Night Listeners - Welcome to episode 30 of Iowa Basement Tapes and two new radio stations: KWIT 90.3FM & KOJI 90.7FM on Siouxland Public Media which covers the western Iowa area of Sioux City, northeastern Nebraska and the southeast edge of South Dakota. I'm stoked to be hitting their listeners every Friday night from 11PM to midnight. Don't forget you can also listen to the show every Thursday from 9PM to 10PM on 98.9FM KFMG in Des Moines and KCOE Coe College in Cedar Rapids. Lots of new material for tonight's show and I'd also like to finally share with everyone the Iowa Basement Tapes Bandcamp Archive . I was inspired by the archives on 319dude.bandcamp.com and the quadcitymusicarchive.bandcamp.com pages to curate my own collection of musical artifacts. Many of these recordings have already been heard on the show once or twice before but there are some new ones. If anyone would like to send over any recordings for me to add please do! The purpose is to pre...

Night Listeners - It's a no wave new year here at Iowa Basement Tapes.

Night listeners, It's the first show for 2019! I got a handful of tunes from Sioux City, Cedar Falls, and Des Moines. I'm hitting the record stores and digging through crates. Just got back from Dubuque and went searching through some bins at CDs 4 Change. Picked up a noise album from Boar. I probably can't play that on any of the radio stations I am currently broadcasting on... #trustkristianday Captain Three Leg – “Breeding Platform” /  The Ape Canyon Demos  (Ottumwa) TWINS – “Don’t Wanna Talk” /  Square America  (Cedar Falls) Elizabeth Moen – “Bad to Myself /  A Million Miles Away  (Iowa City) Spidercake – “River Lilly – Princess Purple” /  Spidercake II  (Des Moines) Little Ruckus – “A Sweet Dirt A Minor” /  The War on Sleep Sweats Onward  (Fairfield) Tires – “11” /  TIRES  (Des Moines) Bobb Dorr – “Some Bunk Funk” / Bar Time (Cedar Falls) Dorks – “Rosey” /  Iowa Compilation Vol 5: A Few Work...

Night Listeners - Christmas is next week and I am chilling in the basement of Dylan Sires' Dad's house in Waterloo, Iowa. I bet no one saw that coming. Dylan is upstairs, I asked if he wanted to join me tonight for the show and he politely declined. I play a lot of chill music with a dash of noise with metal for dessert. Winter is a weird time for music. I hate going to shows because it's too cold and there is nothing worse than being a little tipsy when it is below freezing. However, I do love warm ambient music during this time of year. I remember being in high school and jamming Sigur Ros - ( ) during winter break when the snow covered the streets and Christmas lights illuminated my basement bedroom in my mom's house in Ely, Iowa. So for the next few weeks, I am going to be picking out lots of "warm" music. Please note: the no wave music I have chosen does not fall in this category. Listen every Thursday at 9PM on 98.9fm KFMG-LP Des Moines and at 7PM...
