What do a bunch of polo-shirt wearing sports guys and your Townie Hawk have in common? We all attended Hawkeye Football Media Day, August 6, at the lovely Kinnick Stadium, where I got my first taste of what it’s really like to be inside Iowa football.
Big Boi. For FREE. Need I say more? This is a true hip-hop legend and you should not miss it. NOTE: Due to rain this week, the field at Hubbard Park is too wet for the stage and the 1,000s of dancing feet looking forward to converging on Hawkapalooza this evening. So the show has been moved indoors, to the IMU main lounge.
Little Village Live kicked off it’s first post-summer break show last week, hosting local music group Sad Iron Music. The group played a number of Tom Petty covers, promoting their Rock U: A Study of Tom Petty show later that evening at The Mill, which included various local artists. Sad Iron Music treated Little Village […]
Music aficionados and Weekender subscribers alike are already well-aware of the impending Tapes n’ Tapes visit to The Mill this weekend, but what you may not have heard is that this highly-acclaimed group will be putting on a special performance earlier in the day, hosted by Little Village Magazine, live from the KRUI 89.7 FM studios.

I always do what I can to see Murder by Death when they inevitably roll through town every year. However, this was my first time seeing MeWithoutYou. Although I have heard quite a bit of their music, I’ll admit they fall a bit outside of my musical comfort zone…

Welcome to the weekend, fair Weekenders! If you own a house, cheers to you. If you don’t, you are most likely moving this weekend. Where to? Probably within a couple of blocks from where you live now.
Why? Why do we do this? I don’t know, tradition, I guess.

I know, this is so last weekend, but high-fives to the Iowa City Book Festival, Camp Euforia and Pitchfork.
