This week’s Weekender is for those who are both flush with cash and those who can’t seem to get their hands on any. It’s a poor person’s special this week, if you will.

Watch Shipbuilding Co. at The Yacht Club
Shipbuilding Co. stopped by The Yacht Club this weekend to play us some songs, and we have some lovely video to share. The Indie rock group played the final set of the night after local group Shame Train finished up a set of their own, and although Iowa City was experiencing flood-like conditions at the time, a host of music fans were in attendance to welcome our friends from the West.

Iowa City Weekender: July 14-16
We’re deep in the summer now. I hope that you’ve enjoyed this momentary respite from the heat that we’ve gotten these past couple of days, completing some of those tasks that you could just not complete when it was hot out like taking care of the garden or living your life how you want.

This weekend, there are egos, assassins, and thieves all on the prowl. The awesome part is that they all want you to have a good time, and they won’t steal from you in any way. In fact, they will only give to you.

Celebrate Ten Years: Del at The Blue Moose, 6/21/11
Issue #1 of Little Village was published in July 2001. It’s on file at both local libraries, and it’s totally worth seeking out. Every page in the issue evokes a potent sense of place–a place so cantankerously in love with itself, it could only be this place: Iowa City. In the opening pages, the founding […]

Show Review: Tribal Momentum, Eugene Kelley, and Hannah Drollinger – 5/17/2011
In preparation for their upcoming show at the Yacht Club, members of the new Iowa City band, Tribal Momentum, hosted a house party and concert Tuesday night. The event evoked the feel of a hidden carnival or a Gypsy fireside, where musicians wander through delighting the assembled. There were artists of music as well as artists of munchies; the wonderful Claire made gourmet treats to complement Hannah’s tasty sangria punch. Everyone there seemed to know half of the crowd, and the convivial atmosphere helped them meet the other half before the night ended.
This show was exciting and friendly, daring yet comfortable, prepared yet extemporaneous, which pretty much sums up the personalities of the artists who hosted. I’d like to thank them for their hospitality, but I’d really like to thank them for sharing some phenomenal music.
