We live in a world where Timothée Chalamet may or may not be masquerading as U.K. drill rapper EsDeeKid. As we process that news (and try to incorporate “LV Sandals” into our newest merch drop plans) check out these upcoming events in our Weekender. In Iowa City, Brìghde Chaimbeul is at Trumpet Blossom Cafe as part of a special Mission Creek Presents show. In Des Moines, although Lefty’s is closing its doors before the new year, this weekend sees the venue welcoming a full metal lineup to their stage. Bands include Solshade, Infernal Instinct, happy thoughts, Spectrum and DIEZELEATER. And if you’re in the mood for an analogue movie experience, check out the latest Found Footage Festival at the Last Picture House in Davenport.
