IHEARIC PODCAST - Episode 19: Come to Our Concert this Friday (04/15/2018)



Usually when we have a concert, I do a preview on the preceding radio show. I don't really feel that's necessary this time as Friday's show will be Wombat with special guests. I'm pretty sure our radio listeners are already familiar with Wombat. If not, check out episodes 10 and 15 of this podcast. Otherwise, enjoy this week's selection of music from Iowa City-associated artists.

Two more iHearIC concerts for the Spring 2018 season:
April 20, 8PM at The High Ground Cafe (RSVP here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2545495305675710)
May 5, 2PM at Riverside Festival Stage in City Park! (this place: https://www.thinkiowacity.com/listing/riverside-festival-stage/265)

PLAYLISTS - New Iowa Music on SoundCloud 2 *AND* 3





I was going to present the first playlist last week, but instead put together some playlist for The Uncertainty Festival coming up this weekend. I'll be there Friday night. Say hi if you see a balding, overweight, middle age man in Clark Kent glasses!

But since I didn't put that playlist up last week, you guys get a twofer! I've got the playlist I made last week, plus a new up-to-date one.

Over half of the first one was hip hop. But there are some instrumentals in there, one rock, one electronic music, and one piano music.

The second is more eclectic featuring hip hop, electronic music, rock, and a singer-songwriter.

FESTER RAGE VIDEOS: Mike Sangster and Sinister Sons at a house show in 2008



Though the video says "Tres Siniestro Hombres", the band was basically Sinister Sons, a three piece outfit of lead singer/guitarist, Mike Sangster. Most Iowans would probably know him best as "the other singer and guitarist" in The Hollowmen. He also had a band named Head Candy in the 90s.

In this version of Sinister Sons, or Tres Siniestro Hombres, Mike is joined by Greg Honnold, probably best known for Drednex, on bass and Troy Urich, probably best known for The Delstars, on drums.
