Wah-wah-wah…School’s out for summer/forever here in the IC, but by no means does that mean the rockin’ has to end. If anything, the sudden dearth of college Joes & Janes should be considered a welcome relief to those of us tired of pushing our way through crowds in the pursuit of sweet sweet Grain Belt. So kick back, relax, and enjoy that newfound elbow room…we promise to keep you up on that hot shit all summer long.
Thursday
Minipop w/ D’BARI, North to the Future / The Picador / 9 PM / $5
I’m not gonna lie…I’d never heard of Bay Area “dream poppers” Minipop until this week, but after listening to one of their songs on the SXSW page (which they played earlier this year), I’ve totally got a mini-crush. And yes, that pun was pretty freakin’ terrible.
Friday
Mission Creek and Slanted Productions/Slanty Shanty Records Present:
Paleo, Old Time Relijun, Dead Larry, Zebras, Adam Matthew Havlin / The Mill / 9PM / $6
If our Paleo and Old Time Relijun previews haven’t convinced you to catch this show, I’m not sure what else to say (except that you are really lame, maybe?). The team of Mission Creek and Slanted/Slanty Shanty has put together an incredibly solid show (ed. note: missionfreak.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of Mission Creek Productions, (soon-to-be) Inc.) that is guaranteed to please both whiskey and wine-bomb drinkers alike.
Saturday
Mad Monks w/ Mint Wad Willy, Done by Nine / Iowa City Yacht Club / 9PM / $5
Mad Monks? Cage match?
Craig Eley will be there…will you?
