It may be relatively unusual for a band to go with a “Live at” album as their debut effort, but this was clearly a wise decision for The Workshy. They thrive as the kind of jamband that should first be appreciated live. It’s a familiar format: Live at Fillmore East, the Whiskey, Max’s Kansas City…But who needs those overblown, clichéd venues? In Des Moines we have the Vaudeville Mews, and The Workshy uses that to their advantage.

 When Ames-based band The Workshy brings their rollicking, high-energy jams to Little Big Fest, the crowd better be ready to rock out.

 Being well-seasoned veterans of the Des Moines music scene, Why Make Clocks is still going strong with their third full-length release, "These Things are Ours" (Sleep on the Floor 2009). The album is both a continuation and growth from prior Clock's releases.

 This mini-Palooza (all three bands were at this year’s Lollapalooza Festival) hit Des Moines Sept. 19 for a great show that will hopefully be the beginning of more indie rock performances at Hoyt Sherman Place. |

 Omega Dog has only been together for eight months, but the band has quickly played multiple shows around Des Moines. Their dedication to practice and songwriting has earned them shows at People’s Court, the Vaudeville Mews, El Bait Shoppe, the Longest Yard, A.K. O’Connors and the Briar Patch Festival.

 If you like your rock 'n' roll in the form of a power trio, with driving rhythms and jamming that gets psychedelic at times, this is the show for you. Local favorites Radio Moscow play what will be one of their last local shows before uprooting and moving to California, so come catch what will be one of their last M-Shop shows for some time. They’re supporting their second studio album, “Brain Cycles.” |

 Mary McAdams, a Des Moines-based singer/song-writer originally from Madison, WI, has put together ten exceptional tracks for her debut, self-titled album. Although I’m probably not the first to say it and certainly won’t be the last, McAdams has a lot of talent - and the ability to take her music as far as she wants to.
