About Me

Currently, the main objective of IowaRock.com is not what it once was. But seriously, it really never was much, now was it?

ATTN: Bands
Unless your band's name is A TRIBE CALLED QUEST, I'm not interested in booking your show. There are a few... VERY few exceptions... and if you have to Message me on Myspace to find out if you are the exception, you're not. So... Check these people out:

NO NAME BOOKING
VAUDEVILLE MEWS
MARS CAFE

There is another promoter in Des Moines, but he is a much better promoter than me, and I'm not going to waste his time by giving you a link to his Myspace.

For fans of Hip-Shakin', Whiskey Drinkin', Rock 'n' Roll Attacks!
