We need to talk. You need more excitement. Confess your private desires. Experience the incredible. Concert review of Deafheaven at the Capitol Theater in Davenport, October 9th.
Developer Wrong Organ’s existential horror game “How Fish is Made” left me with some deeper questions about the nature of choice in the broader context of our existence. If the only way forward is death, does it matter what choices you make in the meantime?
Iowa silenced Camp Randall with a statement 37-0 shutout over Wisconsin, reclaiming the Heartland Trophy for a fourth straight year and notching their first road shutout against the Badgers since 1929. Behind Kamari Moulton’s breakout performance and a smothering defense that snagged two interceptions from defensive linemen, the Hawkeyes looked every bit like Big Ten contenders.
In the crowded gallery of rising bands, few make as bold a splash as Iowa’s own prog pop-punks Spin Art, performing live at Lefty’s in Des Moines this weekend.
San Diego’s iconic blackgaze band, Deafheaven will be performing tonight at the Capitol Theater as part of their tour following the release of their most recent album, Lonely People With Power.
On Saturday October 4th, World’s Worst took the stage at Gabe’s. The band took some time after sound check to chat with me, discussing their latest record “American Muscle”, how they got started playing music, and The Real Housewives of SLC.
So, you’ve imbibed in the magic, ribaldry, and unparalleled majesty that is the Lab.
Perhaps it was a random decision; an accidental mis-click. We’d prefer you think of it as FATE, but if you’re disinclined to those sorts of notions, we won’t press you.
But admit it: it was fucking awesome, was it not? Was it not the most open, the most expressive, the most wonderful listening experience you’ve ever had (or at least a close second)? If we’re all capable of being honest adults, I think we know what the answer is: “Sort of”.
Fair enough. But it was certainly interesting, unique, and honest. That you must concede.
And surely, in the aftermath of this sonic awakening, one question remains: who the fuck was I listening to?
Well, toil in ignorance and uncertainty no longer! For here is an ongoing and ever changing synopsis of every show on our dear Lab (a Labclopedia, if you will). Learn of our dynamos, our heroes, our anti-heroes, our champions- our raison d’etre!
A gallery of rogues; a roll of honorables: The Lab’s life blood and squishy organs!
The least hyperbolic series of show spotlights in all of human history!
