Ep 309Iowa Basemen Tapes #309 07-04-2024 6th Anniversary Show & Happy anniversary 4th of July!
Night Listeners -Six years ago this show debuted at 9PM Thursday July 5th, 2018 on 98.9FM KFMG in Des Moines, Iowa. We didn't have our show opener (the broadcast sign off) and I was literally pulling songs from my collection of demos and private press recordings of Iowa bands. Ben Smasher's 319 Dude Bandcamp Archive was a big source for material. We are opening with the same song we opened with six years ago, Moveable Feast's "The End of the World" off the Another Iowa Compilation.... Uncharted Territories LP. This was a way to share my collection with people and to indulge in Iowa's history of punk rock, hardcore, metal, etc. Now we are on four stations, a flourishing podcast, and our Bandcamp Archive so that these recordings don't disappear into the ether. Moveable Feast - "The End of the World" / Another Iowa Compilation (Des Moines)Red Throb - "My Gun" / Bend Over (Iowa City)House of Large Sizes - "What if There is a Fire?" / Another Iowa Compilation (Cedar Falls)Meth and Goats - "Art Corpse" / Attack from Meth and Goats Mountain (Quad Cities)The Hollowmen - "Never Ending Ceiling" / Iowa Compilation Vol. 1 (Des Moines)Deerslayer - "Phantom Sweeps" / Guitar Cryer (Cedar Rapids)Annalibera - "Black Cat White Cat" / Nevermind I Love You (Des Moines)The Ballet - "The UAW Hall" / We Were Wild Buffalo (Quad Cities)Mr. Nasti - "Like a Wild Animal" / Truth Sound (Fairfield)Cursing Birds - "Popey Sally" / Iowa Compilation Vol. 1 (Iowa City)Captain Three Leg - "Iowa Basement Tapes promo" (Ottumwa)Genital Hercules - "Theme from Cheers" / Live at Gabes 5-22-2004 (Cedar Rapids)In Loving Memory - "Song #2 One Fate Fraught Night Back in '91" / Split with Black Market Fetus (Des Moines)Glass Ox - "Fear Riders" / Temptress (Marshalltown)The Horrors - "Back in the Cut" / The Horrors (Cedar Rapids) Follow Iowa Basement Tapes on: InstagramFollow Kristian Day on: Instagram | Twitter (not doing much with it currently)Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.
