Abe Goldstein, host of Jazz at Caspe Terrace,
has announced that this month’s performance
will be cancelled. Shelia Jordan and Cameron
Brown were scheduled to perform at the Waukee
venue’s Bucksbaum Auditorium on Tuesday, Oct.
18. Unfortunately Jordan and Brown’s tour has
been plagued with problems, which has resulted
in cancellation of the date. Caspe Terrace’s
next Jazz performance is slated for Dec. 13,
so drop Abe a line at abe@trilixgroup.com
for more information or to order tickets.
House of Bricks hosts two monthly events this
week. First on Thursday, Sept. 27 is Singer/Songwriter
Night. This month’s performers are B. John Burns,
Scott Cochran and Strum Thurmond. That event
kicks off at 8 p.m. and is free to attend.
Then on Sunday, Sept. 30, HoB hosts its Musician’s
Swap Meet. Bring your music equipment to sell
or trade or just bring some money and buy stuff.
The meet runs from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. and is also
free to enter.
On Thursday, Sept. 27, Vaudeville Mews plays
host to Japanese psych rockers The Zoobombs.
The all-ages show kicks off at 5 p.m. and is
$7 at the door. Wolves in the Attic, Dhobi Flats,
The Morning Electric and SSIC also perform.
Then on Friday, Sept. 28, Martin Sexton plays
at People’s. That show starts at 8 p.m. and
is reserved cabaret seating. Tickets range from
$20 to $30 and are available through midwestix.com.
Also on Sep 28, Wooly’s is the site of Trouble
Lights’ CD release party. In honor of the CD
title — The Endless Prom — the Maximum Ames
crew is throwing themselves an actual prom.
Wear your prom-appropriate gear and don’t forget
a corsage for your date. There will be special
guests, door prizes, a photo booth and, at the
end of the night, a couple will go home with
the title of Prom King and Queen. Five dollars
gets you in.

While it’s not a musical show, Sound Notes would
be remiss to not mention that Henry Rollins

new talking tour, “Capitalism,” Rollins is hitting
up all 50 state capitals in the run up to Election
Day on Nov. 5. His Des Moines Appearance starts
