Features, March 2010 – Sure, an open mic is like a box of chocolates, but Monday night at the Mill is my favorite lime cream-centered, caramel pecan toffee of a weekly free music night in Iowa City.
Since 1981, Open Mic with J. Knight has been an Iowa City institution, a place where up-and-coming talent shares [...]
Welcome to a special ‘Blue Moose Rising’ edition of the Weekender.
For the last couple of months the newest venue downtown has been making a pretty big splash booking acts like Saint Vincent, Hyper Crush, Motion City Soundtrack and of course Iowa City’s prodigal son William Elliott Whitmore (just to name a few). This weekend we [...]
If you checked out Little Village Live last night then you know you were treated to a seriously sick and soulful set by Dave Bess of Public Property, currently perfecting his act as a 1-man band. Straight into the soundboard he bumped his thick bass grooves, signature hooks and live dub stylings of his own [...]
Gosh, anybody tune in to Little Village Live last night? Midwest Dilemma was in-studio, or at least Justin Lamoureux, who recently brought us the album Timelines and Tragedies along with about 30 of his closest friends over there in Omaha.

Visitors packed the Highlander Convention Center Thursday for the Domestic Violence Intervention Program’s (DVIP) 13th annual Souper Bowl fundraiser.
An estimated 400-600 individuals attended the event, paying $20 to be treated to live music and to sample the 42 different kinds of soup donated by local restaurants. The event affords local residents an opportunity to pitch in for the fight against domestic violence in Iowa.
Greetings, Weekenders!
Big thanks to Caleb Hawley and Reed Waddle for being our special guests on last night’s edition of Little Village Live – our weekly radio show, Wednesdays 5-6 pm on KRUI. Check back soon for video clips of their live in-studio performance. Tune in next week for a special Tuesday edition – that’s right, [...]
The little club that everyone loves to gossip about was back on blast for the last few weeks, thanks to at least four events: 1, the place being put up for sale; 2, some slightly disparaging comments made by another LV writer, which in turn sparked an internet mini-flame war; 3, the fact that the [...]
