We’re back with another batch of events in today’s Weekender. The Infinite Dream festival takes place at Hancher Auditorium in Iowa City. Another IC highlight is the “cello-and-kazoo-metal” stylings of Rushadicus with Weapon X at the PS1 Close House. In Des Moines, the Goth Rockers Vision Video hit up Lefty’s with Panic Priest and Treasvre. And in the QC area check out the electronic music pioneer Don Slepian with Idpyramid and Coventry at Rozz-Tox.
