My name is Dave and I am a pretend writer. I mean, I actually write things, because, you know, you’re reading things I’m writing. What I mean is that I am an amateur writer, but when I see people from my high school, this is what I tell them I do for a living. I am no journalist, I am biased, I have specific tastes and I like writing about them, I am occasionally friends with the subjects and yes, I do want to hear your band so if you have stuff, send it this way. Also, I do not write negative reviews. If I don’t like something, I just don’t talk about it. That simple.
For the sake of credibility, I am the music writer for the blog Des Moines Is NOT Boring and also for Greater Des Moines Music Coalition , 80-35.com as well as some booking and promoting. Hopefully that will convince you that I’m not just some schmuck.
What I want to do with this blog is help further the promotion of Iowa music, occasionally some other stuff, and give me an outlet to talk about, well, me. I talk about me, a lot.
