I stumbled upon this brainy intrigue on the nature of labeling, an of co-opting labels such as “indie” and found it well worth the read.
As far as the music scene in Des Moines, I’m not sure if “indie” ever really took off, but I do know of many truly independent bands who are making brilliant sonic waves.
Do your homework on:
Canby
Jacob Tyler Wolfgang
The Envy Corps
Cashes Rivers
The Seedlings
Dustin Smith
Tyke
…and here is part two of the saga…I mean…interview…with Dan Bosman on Capitol 106.3.
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of sitting down the best DJ in Des Moines, Dan Bosman of Capitol 106.3. Dan is a strong support of local music and hosts a Sunday night program (9-11pm) that focuses on Des Moines area music.
You can listen to part one of our interview right here!
Part 2 will be posted shortly.
My dear friends,
2009 is nigh well passed. As we look toward 2010 we can reminisce on a fantastic year of music and art. If the spirit of shows past came and walked us through EP releases, DogtownFest, movies made, and video games soundtracked we’d have little to flinch at, and much to revel in.
As we approach 2010 we look forward to a time of silence, a time of rest. The first XX months (3-5) of 2010 Finn Miles will be digging deep, writing new songs, recording new music, and investigating the grand ideas that make our minds tick.
Don’t worry, we may pop up for an odd acoustic show here and there, and we’ll keep posting progress…but for a full rock sound may I suggest purchase of the Finn Miles Telltale Heart EP? Share it with a friend. Throw a dinner party. Have a conversation. Drink hot chocolate. Live the good life.
We’ll see you soon…
Paul
To all who subscribe to the Finn Miles email list…I must apologize. When discussing the upcoming album “Winteresque” I described the collection as:
poetic, indie-Americana songs of literary decent.
I intended to say “descent.”
Please forgive me…
