SUMMARY:Alison Bechdel
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with University of Iowa Lecture Committee\n\n"American cartoonist Alison Bechdel is best known for her long-running\, award-winning comic strip\, Dykes to Watch Out For\, which was first published in 1983. The comic strip became a countercultural institution among lesbians and discerning non-lesbians all over the world. Ms. Magazine dubbed this generational chronicle “one of the pre-eminent oeuvres in the comics genre\, period.”\n\nHer work focuses on the overlap of political and personal spheres\, the relationship of the self to the world outside. In the New York Times Book Review write-up of her 2012 memoir Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama\, Katie Roiphe wrote\, “There’s a lucidity to Bechdel’s work that in certain ways … bears more resemblance to poetry than to the dense\, wordy introspection of most prose memoirs. The book delivers lightning bolts of revelation\, maps of insight and visual snapshots of family entanglements in a singularly beautiful style.”\n\nTime magazine named her book Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic the Best Book of 2006\, describing the tightly architected investigation into her closeted bisexual father’s suicide “a masterpiece about two people who live in the same house but different worlds\, and their mysterious debts to each other.” Fun Home was adapted into a musical in 2015 and was nominated for five Tony Awards including “Best Musical.”

SUMMARY:Faust
DESCRIPTION:Formed in Germany in the late 60s\, Faust is one of the original experimental rock bands\, and an icon of the krautrock genre... perhaps THE most iconic krautrock band\, heralded as a ground-breaking and innovative group of musicians from the very beginning. Their first album\, Faust\, was released in 1971\, their second album So Far was released in 1972\, and their third album\, IV\, was released in 1973 before the group disbanded. Some of the original members reunited in 1990\, and they've released a new series of albums including their latest Something Dirty (2011) and j U S t (2014). Ever innovative and experimental\, Faust evades strict categorization\, recording music that merges pop\, psychedelia\, tape\, and electronic music. Their sound continues to draw attention for its catchy and unique substance\, and their live performances are known to be explosive and expressive. This will be Faust's first (and perhaps only) ever performance in Iowa\, and they will be joined by artists from our community for a one-of-a-kind\, collaborative performance/experience.

SUMMARY:Karen Meat
DESCRIPTION:Karen Meat and The Players is Des Moines’ favorite pop-punk band led by Arin Eaton. Eaton adopted the name Karen Meat when she relocated from Nashville to Des Moines\, and has been described as the “landlocked American cousin to ascendant Australian singer/songwriter Courtney Barnett.” Karen Meat’s latest project “Karen Meat and The Computer” was released in early 2015\, and features songs written by Patrick Tape Fleming of Gloom Balloon and Poison Control Center. The album’s sound is unapologetic\, gritty\, unrelentingly sweet\, and somehow manages to cover everything from dysfunctional relationships and negative body image issues to pizza and beer in just five songs.

SUMMARY:Caroline Smith
DESCRIPTION:Caroline Smith was born and raised in Detroit Lakes\, Minnesota. She discovered her love for music at an early age\, learning how to play the guitar from her father. At 16\, she began performing locally.\n\nAt age 18 she moved to Minneapolis to attend the University of Minnesota. She began performing weekly gigs at a local bar. Through various gigs playing these shows she was introduced to her future band mates\, Arlen Peiffer and Jesse Schuster. They later added David Earl to the group\, forming Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps. \n\nTogether they released three albums\, describing their sound as “storybook folk with an indie twist.” By “Little Wind” their last album under the name Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps their sound evolved into a more rocking sound still with folk elements and roots that they called it “post folk.” \n\nIn 2013 they released “Half About Being A Woman” under their new and simple name\, Caroline Smith. Many of the songs in the album draw influences from the 90’s neo soul explosion such as D’Angelo.\n

SUMMARY:Quilt
DESCRIPTION:Cascading harmonies and billowing textures\, punchy rhythms and snarled guitars\, wonderful depth and resplendent peaks. Born out of the local music-improv scene\, Boston-based four-piece Quilt absorbs these elements to collaborate on unconventional electric music\, spitting out mountains of sparkly psychedelic grooves and clouds of luminous three-part harmonies. Their live shows conjure a variety of reactions from the audience--from swaying blissfully to gentle folk ambience\, to nodding uncontrollably to thrashing guitar freak-outs--all seamlessly from song to song. Pitchfork says "Either they replicate specific moments in the history of 20th-century American music that we cannot concretely pin down\, or they are designed to reflect a set of unwritten expectations and parameters."
