Show Review: Taj Weekes & Adowa, Tribal Momentum – Yacht Club 8/12/11
As demonstrated by all the funky shops, restaurants, and people around town, Iowa City has multicultural tastes. Our local bands are interesting, and our clubs bring in acts from far-flung places to meet those tastes. St. Lucia is 2600 miles away from IC, so that qualifies as far-flung in my atlas. Taj Weekes & Adowa brought some of the culture of St. Lucia all the way to Iowa, and Tribal Momentum showed off a bit of Iowa City’s own crazy culture.

Show Photos: Tribal Momentum on Little Village Live – 8/10
Another Wednesday at PS1 brought another great band to the KRUI airwaves. This week, I had the pleasure of hearing the Tribal Momentum. This four-piece reminded me of some of the great jam bands of the late 90s, but I wouldn’t label them as a jam band proper. They’re better than that.
