I spent a rainy afternoon and slightly less-rainy evening taking in more music at the 3rd annual 80/35 Music Festival in Des Moines. While yesterday's music was in the jazz vein, this one was about indie rock, which I have developed more of an appreciation for over the past few years. I heard some great bands that were new to me, including The Walkmen, who were attempting to perform in the picture above when the rain was not blowing directly on them and their equipment, and popular indie rock band Modest Mouse closed out the festivities. Congrats to Des Moines music organizers for creating an awesome music festival for central Iowa.

Hi Olines! It's Heidi- I just saw the Walkmen up here in the Twin Cities, and they were great. Looks like you had a great music festival in Des Moines, I'm impressed!
Hey Heidi, how are you!? I really enjoyed what I heard of The Walkmen, I bought some songs on iTunes and will have to check out their albums. The music festival is great, especially for Des Moines. Spoon closed out the first night, but we were in Iowa City that day for Jazz Festival. Too bad they're the same weekend!
