The Vaudeville Mews has announced plans to celebrate the venue’s 10th anniversary on Dec. 5. Having played host through the years to acts like Of Montreal, Fall Out Boy and Josh Ritter — to say nothing of the thousands of Iowa acts that continue to grace the stage every night — the venue will celebrate its first decade of life with Eternal Summers, Land of Blood and Sunshine and Love Songs For Lonely Monsters. There will also be trivia, commemorative posters and limited edition T-shirts. We’ll remind you again as the date draws near, but in the meantime, advance tickets can be purchased through www.tikly.co.
