An Afternoon Snatching (RIP)

About Me

An Afternoon Snatching was started in the late spring of 2007. We are one of the newest ska bands in the Des Moines scene, and possibly even in Iowa.
The members of the band have witnessed the change of not only the ska scene, but the whole music scene within DSM. Everything from old school scene bands such as The Creepy Kids and Mail Box Snatchers, to the newer bands like Stuck With Arthur and The Lifestyle; We've seen it all.
We've noticed the scene change from being a 100% dedicated music scene to a 100% fame and fashion scene.
We plan to change that.
An Afternoon Snatching is here to bring ska back like you've never seen it before in DSM.
This band is 100% DIY. Making fliers, word of mouth promotion, and setting up shows ourselves.
Right now, our place of shows is limited. This is not only due to the shrinking number of venues, since we only have a piece of shit van that breaks down every other day, but if you want us in your town, we will try our hardest to get there...even if it kills us!
