Iowa Basement Tapes

Night Listeners - It's almost Thanksgiving! I don't really know what counts as "Thanksgiving" tunes for this show. Some first time plays include The Meanies from Iowa City, The Rockers from Sioux City, and Brad Morgan from Manning (I think he is a newbie). I am just not a huge folk/country fan and I don't want to start dropping those type of tunes on this show. Iowa Basement Tapes has it...

Night Listeners - Doomvember is here and I got some super stoner Iowa goodness with Into The Cove, Cockroach Dominion, CR Dicks, and Paul Cary.

Night Listeners - Welcome to November! I am back in a hotel room in Omaha, Nebraska. Working an episode of 90 Day Fiancé for TLC.

Night Listeners - Wild times this month. I had the opportunity to catch a lot of shows in the in the last week: Gwar, Bob Dylan, and Wolf Eyes!

Night Listeners - I'm on another commercial shoot this week. This time for Hy-Vee and one of our extras was Nick Frampton from Field Division and he shared with me some of the hardcore music he used to be apart of including Approaching Nain that started back in 2005. They actually had a track on the Save Me From Ordinary compilation that was put out by the Iowa Hardcore Blogspot back in the day. I...

Night Listeners - Week 2 of me hanging in Iowa City. I'm on a grueling schedule with a six day week working on a split schedule that is killing my vibes.

Night Listeners - Tonight I am recording in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This show breaks new grounds with bands from three new cities: Shadrack Chameleon from Humboldt, Zini from Lamoni (yes you read correctly) and No Coast Criminals from Independence.

These are the more mellow/drone pieces from Seezureface and Under Escape from the Black Hole. I also share tunes from the now defunct Bongrider and Gloaming, two Iowa City doom projects. Well Gloaming isn't doom, but it fits right in. Also a supe...

Night Listeners - It has been one year since Iowa Basement Tapes hit the airwaves. The first show aired July 5th 2018 at 9PM on 98.9 FM KFMG - Des Moines. I know most of you who listen to this show now probably won't be listening tonight as it is the 4th of July (by the way HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!). I do this show every week no matter what. If I am sick, if my cat passed away (both happened), or if...

Night Listeners - We have a really heavy show tonight. It's probably the most talking we have ever done on this show and it is also our loudest show to date.

Discussions include the early days of the Iowa har...

Night Listeners - May is coming to an end and summer is almost here.
