Concerts to highlight interim entertainment
Jeffrey Miller
Extract:
Iowa City can be a very pleasant place in August. at least for the first two weeks. The streets are empty, people aren't throwing up in front of bars, a general calm and relaxation settle over the town.
And there are things to do here and nearby. Entertainment may not be quite as accessible as it is during the school year, but eastern Iowa is far from being the cultural void some might believe it is.
The next month offers more than its share of concerts, especially if you have transportation.
Elvis Costello and the Attractions will be appearing at Des Moines' Civic Center next Friday (Aug. 6). It'll be Iowa's first chance to see Elvis, whose last concert tour was praised by all who saw it as being one of the best shows they've ever seen.
Des Moines is also the site Aug. 17 for Talking Heads' Iowa debut, though the specific location has yet to be decided. We've seen the Heads, and we can assure you the trip to catch them will be well worth it.
