Experts might call our recent weather a “false fall” but it’s real to us, dammit! Whatever it’s called, enjoy the cooler temps during the events in our Weekender. Jam band rockers Goose are at Hancher for a free outdoor concert tonight. Japanese art-rock trio TsuShiMaMiRe hit up two Iowa venues this weekend. They will be at Octopus in Cedar Falls Saturday and Raccoon Motel in Davenport on Sunday. And in Des Moines, a full lineup headlined by Attacked By Badgers convenes for Rusty’s Weiner Roast 2025 at Lefty’s.
