Does anyone follow local bands in the Des Moines/Ames area? If so, who are they and where are the best local bars/venues?
The Nadas
The Josh Davis Band
Jason Brown
Brother Trucker
Fat Andy
The Tyler Thompson Band
Do myspace searches on all of them to hear some of their stuff.
I don't live in the area, but I did see that the Josh Davis Band is on the CD sampler that comes with my favorite music mag, Paste. I thought it was just an OK track, but it's good to see good music come out of Iowa.Quote:

Ask Cotlar, that seems to be one of his strongsuits, local music. Too bad he's supposed to have a sports show.
