I knew that one thing would truly suffer when I decided to go to school in the middle of Iowa, that being the music scene. As you may have guessed, not many big acts are dying to throw down here in Ames but luckily I think I have found a pretty manageable music scene. I've discovered that the only bands that really want to play in the area are the ones who just truly enjoy playing and having a good time without having to worry about sellout crowds. Within a 2 hour driving radius I can hit up Omaha, which will be hosting, actually as I look, some amazing bands such as of Montreal, STS9, Built to Spill, and Titus Andronicus. Des Moines which is only 30 or so minutes away also managed to snag Passion Pit so I guess there is some potential there too for some great tunes. All-in-all, I guess that I lucked out and things are looking pretty solid. I'm really looking forward to kickin out the jams this fall!
