Established 2001 | Always free!
We made it past the longest January in the history of the Gregorian Calendar. Celebrate with the events in today’s Weekender. At xBk Live in Des Moines, Ramona & The Sometimes present Cupid’s Lounge, showcasing talented local musicians singing songs about love. Speaking of, share in James Tutson’s love for soul music with the Fool for You album release show at The Englert Theatre in Iowa City. They say Raccoon Motel don’t have the family’s permission to present Cough N Flop with Dilator & Company Dimes. We say they don’t need it. They’re allowed to show ’em nude* because they ain’t got no soul.
*Despite the ITYSL reference, we don’t think there will be any nude performances, at least not planned ones.
