Iowa Basement Tapes

Night Listeners Finally, the interview with Luke Belknap (Goldblums / Huxley Maxwell / Person Whale / The Beaches / Austrinaut / Vivacious Bean Dip) has happened. He joins us in the KFMG studios in Des Moines with my engineer/co-host studio manager Gary Monte. Belknap talks about all the projects he is in and some of the primitive recording techniques used on his records. He shares with us his playlist of Iowa weirdos (some we've played and some we haven't). I also found a psychedelic rock band out of Fort Dodge from 1972 called West Minist'r. 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 - Happy Valentines Day! I hope you all enjoyed my note from Harry Warden at the beginning of the show. Tonight I popped in a few loves songs from Captain Three Leg, Elizabeth Moen, and well let's call the track from Three Finger Better Betty a love song too (it's probably not a love song for another a human). First time jams tonight from TV Cop out of Ottumwa. They are straight out of the pop punk scene and they remind me a lot of 90s Alkaline Trio or Offspring. The Elizabeth Moen song "Best I Can Do" reminds me a lot of the music heard in the David Lynch film, Wild At Heart. I also got a song off of the second or third When Bitter Spring Sleeps record, Coven Of Wolves. The nature sounds you hear on the track were recorded at Wapsipinicon River Environmental Education Center which is over on the Scott County side of Iowa. Hear us every Thursday at 9PM on  98.9FM KFMG - Des Moines  &  KCOE - Coe College Cedar Rapids . You can now hear us eve...

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...
