Mission Creek – Cave Singers, Birds & Batteries, Mondo Drag, Lady Espina
I arrived at the Mill to the sounds of Mondo Drag early on in their set. Mondo Drag play the sort of blues-tinged rock music that wouldn’t have been out of place 30 years ago on that same stage; something I can say with authority, since 30 years ago I was there, hoovering up all-you-can […]

Iowa City Weekender: February 25-28
If you checked out Little Village Live last night then you know you were treated to a seriously sick and soulful set by Dave Bess of Public Property, currently perfecting his act as a 1-man band.
