“[The inspector] told us ‘We know what’s going on. We know you have shows. We’ve seen your website and your videos on Youtube,” Wherehouse Coordinator and co-leaseholder Nelle Dunlap said in a phone interview. “They were polite, but obviously upset that we had been doing that.”

Show Review: Tribal Momentum, Eugene Kelley, and Hannah Drollinger – 5/17/2011
In preparation for their upcoming show at the Yacht Club, members of the new Iowa City band, Tribal Momentum, hosted a house party and concert Tuesday night. The event evoked the feel of a hidden carnival or a Gypsy fireside, where musicians wander through delighting the assembled. There were artists of music as well as artists of munchies; the wonderful Claire made gourmet treats to complement Hannah’s tasty sangria punch. Everyone there seemed to know half of the crowd, and the convivial atmosphere helped them meet the other half before the night ended.
This show was exciting and friendly, daring yet comfortable, prepared yet extemporaneous, which pretty much sums up the personalities of the artists who hosted. I’d like to thank them for their hospitality, but I’d really like to thank them for sharing some phenomenal music.

Carnival Hearts & Arts Parade: Venue Change (Rain location)
Springtime in Iowa City is proving to us how erratic it can be…hot, cold, rainy, sunny….unfortunately this weekend is going to be on the thunderstormy side. While we all would love to say we’ll battle it out in the park, it just isn’t worth the risk of getting everyone soggy. But….the show WILL go on! The wonderful folks at the White Lightning Where?house are letting us take over the space for our event. While this eliminates picnic blankets and basking in the sun, we will still have vendors and art galore, the music, some snacks and tons of happy faces that won’t be bogged down by the weather.
