Iowa Basement Tapes #53 07-04-2019 1 Year Anniversary Show!
July 05, 2019 02:00Night Listeners - It has been one year since Iowa Basement Tapes hit the airwaves. The first show aired July 5th 2018 at 9PM on 98.9 FM KFMG - Des Moines. I know most of you who listen to this show now probably won't be listening tonight as it is the 4th of July (by the way HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!). I do this show every week no matter what. If I am sick, if my cat passed away (both happened), or if the world burning away (global warming is real) there will always be a new show every week. Th...

June 28, 2019 02:00Night Listeners - We have a really heavy show tonight. It's probably the most talking we have ever done on this show and it is also our loudest show to date.

Iowa Basement Tapes #45 5-09-2019
May 10, 2019 02:00Night Listeners - I feel like I have avoided playing tunes from Ames because I have always thought that the music from that city was extremely self indulgent. But I have come to love that about Ames. So tonight I got some new tunes from Stars Hollow. They do some loud emo pop stuff that some of you might enjoy. I also have two tunes from the new Traffic Death / Captain Three Leg split 12". One from each band that will rip your face right off. Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Io...

Iowa Basement Tapes #43 4-25-2019
April 26, 2019 02:06Night Listeners - Tonight I mixed a lot of new with some old (and some really old). New material from Druids and Finally Some Action and a long lost release from the Cedar Rapids progressive stoner rock legends Truth and Janey.

Iowa Basement Tapes #42 4-18-2019
April 19, 2019 02:00Night Listeners - I am all over the place tonight with tunes from every part of the state: Sioux City, Des Moines, Waterloo, Waverly, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Clinton, Keokuk, and Dubuque. I was presented with an email earlier in the week from Bensmasher sharing with me some really interesting finds. One of the most interesting is a group from Clinton called Mississippi Belle. Two boat captains who made a record using a keyboard a drum machine. I love this stuff. Iowa Basement Tapes has i...
Iowa Basement Tapes #41 4-11-2019
April 12, 2019 02:00Night Listeners - To continue on with my travelogue shows I am now in West Point, NY. On the flight I got to finally explore some tunes by the band Nethervoid. Tim Connery whom I have worked with on film projects up in the Dubuque area used to be in this band with members of The Tanks (hence the double location mention). Nethervoid put out two albums, an EP, and a demo during their short lifespan. Now the majority of their music is some good ol' hail satan black metal, however they do have...
Iowa Basement Tapes #40 4-3-2019
April 05, 2019 01:30Night Listeners - Happy 40th episode!

Iowa Basement Tapes #39 3-28-2019
March 29, 2019 05:21Night Listeners - March is just about over and I am up in Dubuque walking around without a jacket... freedom from the winter's enslavement is near! Tonight I have some weird tunes and some new tunes. The new tunes include Druids from Des Moines and Cockroach Dominion from Cedar Rapids. The weird tunes include the A side from a 1969 tribute record to the late sports radio announcer Bill Sass from WMT AM radio Cedar Rapids (super random I know). Iowa Basement Tapes now has its own archive of ...
Iowa Basement Tapes #38 03-21-2019
March 22, 2019 02:00Night Listeners - Tonight I am recording my show from the deepest part of Texas. I am in the city of Marfa. If you don't know about it you should give it a Google. I also spent some time at SXSW last week which was O.K. I am not party guy so I don't care about anything past the tacos. This week's playlist was carefully planned to not include as many Des Moines acts because I tend to focus on them a lot. Some first timers tonight: She Swings She Sways, Black Death Jet and Wet Hair. I am pre...
Iowa Basement Tapes #37 03-14-2019 GUEST: Trey Reis of Skyscraper & the Warm Gospel Tapes label

A big shout out to my boy Justin Beahm for giving me some incite on them. Be sure to check out the Justin Beahm Radio Hour on Apple podcasts. Iowa Basement Tapes now has its own archive o...

March 08, 2019 03:00Night Listeners - I recorded this week's show in North Hollywood, California and it is rainy AF. I got tunes tonight from Alex Body, The Ruralists and Space Burial.

You can now hear us every Friday at 11PM on 90.3FM KWIT - Sioux City & 90.7FM KOJI - Okoboji. If you miss the show please subscribe to the podcast archives: https://apple.co/2MzdH5e #...
Iowa Basement Tapes #35 2-28-2019
March 02, 2019 17:53Nigh Listeners - Our final February show of 2019 is upon us! This cold has got me super bummed so I am escaping to Los Angeles and will be producing the show in North Hollywood.

February 22, 2019 03:00Night Listeners Finally, the interview with Luke Belknap (Goldblums / Huxley Maxwell / Person Whale / The Beaches / Austrinaut / Vivacious Bean Dip) has happened.

He shares with us his playlist of Iowa weirdos (some we've played and some we haven't). I also found a psychedelic rock b...
Iowa Basement Tapes #33 02-14-2019 Happy Valentines Day!
February 15, 2019 03:00Night Listeners - Happy Valentines Day! I hope you all enjoyed my note from Harry Warden at the beginning of the show. Tonight I popped in a few loves songs from Captain Three Leg, Elizabeth Moen, and well let's call the track from Three Finger Better Betty a love song too (it's probably not a love song for another a human). First time jams tonight from TV Cop out of Ottumwa. They are straight out of the pop punk scene and they remind me a lot of 90s Alkaline Trio or Offspring. The Elizab...
Iowa Basement Tapes #32 2-7-2019

Iowa Basement Tapes #31 1-31-2019
February 01, 2019 03:00Night Listeners - I am recording the show this week from Bryan, Texas. I'm sharing a hotel room with Dylan Sires and as I sit producing this weeks content he is blasting through the forward of a new book. So he will not actually be joining me on this weeks episode. I got new material from Artificial Stars in Sioux City. They have a tight alternative/pop sound going for them that I think everyone will love. I also got some first time plays tonight from Tuff Jerks out of Fairfield, 3 Finger ...

A shout out to The Ruralists in Sioux City for sending me their album. Catch us every Thursday from 9...
Iowa Basement Tapes #28 1-10-2019
January 10, 2019 13:39Night Listeners - It's a no wave new year here at Iowa Basement Tapes. I promise next week I will bring back some groovy happiness but first I got some new tunes (new to me at least) from Lucy Bucket from Cedar Rapids, a new demo from the CR Dicks (get it while you can), and some juicy electronic stew from Polybond. Listen to the show live every Thursday at 9PM on 98.9FM KFMG - Des Moines and KCOE Coe College Student Radio. #Trustkristianday Lucy Bucket - "Lucky" / Cedar Rapids (Cedar R...
Iowa Basement Tapes #27 1-3-2019
January 03, 2019 12:55Night listeners, It's the first show for 2019! I got a handful of tunes from Sioux City, Cedar Falls, and Des Moines. I'm hitting the record stores and digging through crates. Just got back from Dubuque and went searching through some bins at CDs 4 Change. Picked up a noise album from Boar. I probably can't play that on any of the radio stations I am currently broadcasting on... #trustkristianday Captain Three Leg – “Breeding Platform” / The Ape Canyon Demos (Ottumwa) TWINS – “Don’t Wanna...

Iowa Basement Tapes #25 12-20-2018
December 22, 2018 14:50Night Listeners - Christmas is next week and I am chilling in the basement of Dylan Sires' Dad's house in Waterloo, Iowa. I bet no one saw that coming. Dylan is upstairs, I asked if he wanted to join me tonight for the show and he politely declined. I play a lot of chill music with a dash of noise with metal for dessert. Winter is a weird time for music. I hate going to shows because it's too cold and there is nothing worse than being a little tipsy when it is below freezing. However, I do ...

Iowa Basement Tapes #23 GUEST: Adam Groves/Deerslayer on the Cedar Rapids Punk Scene Part 1
December 07, 2018 03:24Night listeners - Tonight I played part one of my interview with former Cedar Rapids native Adam Groves. He played bass and sang in the PeePee's, Wheel and the Fence, and Brazil. He is also the artist behind one of my favorite musical acts, Deerslayer. He currently resides in Singapore so when I recorded him it was 11AM CST but it was 11PM Singapore time. The quality is a little rough at times as I was capturing it from my iphone. I did my best to clean it up but there is a lot of background...
Iowa Basement Tapes #22 GUEST: Jack Meggers on Mason City Grunge
November 30, 2018 01:00Night Listeners, This week I am in the KFMG studios with studio manger Gary Monte interviewing filmmaker Jack Meggers about his life in Mason City during the grunge era of the 90s.

November 23, 2018 03:00Night Listeners - Happy Thanksgiving! If you are one of our listeners from KCOE in Cedar Rapids, we have a ton of tunes from your neck of the woods.

This was ripped directly from the cassette that was mailed to Brad Adita for the Another Day In The Air compilations. I also got new newer tunes from Peanut Ricky, Huxley Maxwell, and Waverly. This playlist was crafted for those who are chilling in th...
Iowa Basement Tapes #20 11-15-2018 Road Trip with Dylan Sires
November 16, 2018 02:01Night Listeners - This is our first road trip show! 90% of this weeks episode was recorded while driving in a minivan to Madison, WI with Dylan Sires (of the band Sires). We blast through a lot of tunes originating from the Cedar Valley, something I haven't done in a while. Bare with us, the sound quality is questionable at times because... we are in a minivan. If you miss the live show on either KFMG Des Moines or KCOE Coe College, be sure to check out the archives on iTunes. Kristian #...
