We’re back with another weekend full of events throughout our reader regions. Jonathan Richman, founder of the Modern Lovers and subject of our October Prairie Pop column, hits up the Englert in Iowa City. Meanwhile, Daily Show correspondent Jordan Klepper visits Cedar Rapids Paramount Theatre on his Suffering Fools tour. Check out our interview with Klepper before his visit. In central Iowa, the first iteration of the Howling goes down this Saturday. We talked with one of the producers of the Halloween-themed music fest about his hopes for the family-friendly outing. Speaking of spooky season, our Void Church friends Giallows, who just premiered their latest music video, join a stacked lineup of gothy and horror-coded acts opening for NYC art-rockers Activity at Raccoon Motel this Sunday.
