We had such a great time with last year’s Uncertainty Festival that we thought we’d throw down again this year. So we’ve assembled what we feel are some of the greatest bands in Iowa for 3 days of local music goodness (last year it was only 2, so we’ve obviously […]
Our Blog
The Flat Earth
It’s been since February since a blog post, which is bad form. Part of the deal with doing DIY anything is a small number of hands trying to do many things. Well, some things, anyway. In April we had our first festival, The Uncertainty Festival. It was a lot of […]
The Uncertainty is Real
After months of planning, organizing, and working with people in the community and beyond, yesterday we announced the lineup of The Uncertainty Festival. Check it out right here if you don’t believe us. We couldn’t be happier with the line-up, which includes headliner Dressy Bessy, along with their touring companions […]
Certainty in Uncertain Times
This Friday night, Dec. 2nd, we’ll be having our third annual Winter Showcase. One of the highlights of the showcase is the release of the Mountain Eats Mountain EP, a work over a year in the making. Adam Lyons of Doctor Murdock has put together a one-man show of intricate […]
Max Ames 2016
Greetings. We’re very proud and thankful that the great people at Maximum Ames have asked us again this year to host two showcases during their festival. We did this last year, and they were both a lot of fun and we got to have a lot of eyeballs on our […]
Entropy in the Age of Donuts

Year Three, Whoa, Really?
Been awhile since we’ve had a bloggy post. Since our January release stuff, in fact. Part of that is that we’ve simply had a lot going on – we had an April release party, and then, in July, our 2nd Anniversary show at DG’s (more on that in a moment). […]
Welcome to 2015: Flanuary and Beyond
It’s a new year, and we’re coming out swinging. 2014 was great and all, we got to celebrate being a label for a solid year, and putting out lots of great stuff that we’re super proud of. But we’re not going to rest on our laurels. We’re not entirely sure […]
Novrember Goings-Ons
Our October Halloweiner release show is now in the rear view mirror, and it was a blast. There were wieners, of course, and performances by Bleujack (who we sure hope to work with more in the future), Nate Logsdon, Pink Kodiak, 11 Clouds, and Instants. Pink Kodiak and 11 Clouds […]
October, Fest
So what’s new with you? We’ve been keeping the bunsens burning down here in the Labs, and have some new experiments we’re sharing, and about to share, and some things which will unfortunately just remain hypotheses for the moment. We had a really great time during the Maximum Ames Music […]
