AUDIBLE FARM PODCAST - Episode 19: Erich Tran



TRANZIG is an instrumental solo project founded, written, and performed by Erich Tran of Des Moines, Iowa. Over a two-year period he wrote and recorded all of the album's guitars, drums, and bass parts producing a heavy metal journey through thrash, hard rock, and solo guitar pieces.

With unconventional song structures, this self-titled album is meant to be heard as a whole piece of music rather than individual songs. It also features guest appearances from David Ellefson, Randy Walker, and Stephanie Tran.

Erich Tran is a multi-instrumentalist from the Des Moines area. He recently recorded a self-titled solo album "Tranzig" in which he played all the instruments on the album. He also plays drums in Horror Business (a Misfits tribute band), bass in Facecage, and has an acoustic project with his wife.

Favorites of 2017 (and the State of the Website speech and boring statistics)

Well, we entered the fifth year of the Iowa Music Showcase. Unfortunately, we were gone for over half of the previous year! Hopefully, things will go better this year!

We will include all the podcasts, videos, and articles we featured last year. We've also added the podcast, Audible Farm, an interview podcast from local musician Peter Stockdale of the Des Moines punk band, 3 Finger Betty, and Iowa metal band, Unity.



We also, on an irregular basis, will be featuring older articles, audio, and video, from sources like KRUI 89.7 FM in Iowa City, Des Moines Music Coalition, KURE radio in Ames, as well as older websites like Lock N Load from the Sioux Falls/Sioux City area, Des Noise, Des Moines is Not Boring, Iowaves, and Band Bombshell, among others.


I'm not doing any podcast of the favorite tunes from the Iowa Music Showcase podcast, because - 1) I haven't had the time, and 2) we only did four podcasts last year! But below I'll list all the boring top ten's I've listed on previous years.

Also, we may fewer Iowa Music Showcase podcasts, depending on how time and whatnot goes for me. But I will continue to feature playlists, compilation albums, videos, and other websites where you can find Iowa music.


But in the five months we were running last year, we did manage to do a showcase of Sump Pump Records. And if I can get the podcasts up and running again, I'd be happy to showcase other Iowa labels!


Okay, now it's time for all the math and list nerds! Here's some various top ten lists for our website for 2018!
