HORSE the band
The Fall of Troy
Gabe's Oasis, Iowa City IA
So, expanding my show horizons while visiting my best friends in Iowa: Gabe's Oasis is a total dump, y'all. Quoth Mr. S: "These floors are stickier than the Diamond Theater" Honestly, we're lucky to not still be stuck there. It was also very hot and humid inside. Fortunately we timed things very well, arriving in time to hear most of The Fall of Troy, whom I have enjoyed in the past.
I tried to chat up Dave from HORSE the band, but he was having none of it. Whatever...
After a pretty short set-change, HORSE came on in all their glory. They are just fabulous. I can't even adequately praise them - they just fucking rock! Just go see them...drive, fly, swim, cross the desert like an Arab man....just see them if you can.
Other Iowa stuff:
The future birthplace of Captain Kirk (coming in 2228)
Czeck and Slovak Museum
malls, malls, and more malls (I don't know what these people do for a living, but I guess they shop a lot)
"a potpourri of smells"
