Carver-NITETROTTER Session

Carver are 3 cool kids from Bettendorf,IA who like cool music, cool shows, and cool girls. In their spare time they are also fond of scouring old record collections, listening to tales of shows past, and running cross country. We recommend catching them live whenever you can. They may not look "punk", but their DIY attitudes tell a different story. Here is their fist NITETROTTER Session Carver "Older,Wiser"

Pictures of a City - NITETROTTER Session

Pictures of A City have been QC mainstays for going on a couple years now. They do things on their own accord, and support people who support them. They are a weird group of dudes with solid jams. They are rumored to be playing on DAY 2 of NITETROTTER Fest in July. Hope you enjoy, Good Nite.

Up! Rise and Fall - NITETROTTER Session

Illustration Jorge Tapia / Sound Engineering Ian Harris / Text Mr. Nitetrotter - March 18, 2010

Up Rise and Fall are not the angry guys that they sound like. They are actually a gang of nice guys. We love their vicious attack on the ears of the musical puritans.

We recorded this session one day when they came to Mixtapes to play a show. Expect a hell blazing set from these guys on day two of Nitetrotter Fest!

Well for now enjoy these tracks and goodnite.

Recorded at Nitetrotter Studios East Moline, Illinois

Up! Rise and Fall - "An ything Can Happen Within Tomorrow" and "Fragile Lives"

Bob Bucko JR - NITETROTTER Session

Illustration Jorge Tapia / Sound Engineering Randy Carter / Text Mr. Nitetrotter - March 17, 2010

Bob Bucko is an example of classic Iowa folk. His music is original but pays homage to the tradition it comes from. We love the original sense of unforced weirdness.

Randy Carter captured these recordings in Dubque, a Iowa town known for unforced weirdness. He wrote about Bob's three music projects Old Panther, Alma Sub Rosa, The Glimmer Blinken and his busy schedule of solo engagements. Bob also reportedly records feverish noise jams obsessively on his tascam. His behavior and eclectic leanings sounds R. Stevie Moore esque.

We look forward to Bob's set at the upcoming Nitetrotter Fest in East Moline this July. Enjoy this hot session from him and goodnite!

Bob Bucko - "(So) Over The Rainbow" "I Can't Live At Home In This World Anymore" "Native Bodies" and "Amazing Grace/Ghosts"

Marlo Eggplant - Live NITETROTTER Session

Marlo Eggplant is a solo female artist in what can often be a boys club. Her music is fucked up but precise. She is a woman that knows what she wants and seems to know how to get it. She has had a recent slew of releases and just completed a big U.S. tour. We at Nitetrotter enjoy her music and her personality. Recently she came and rocked Mixtapes. We look forward to hearing her play live again.

In the mean while enjoy this tasty session from Ms. Eggplant.

Marlo Eggplant - "Live at Mixtapes 1-31-10"

Recorded live at Mixtapes East Moline, Illinois on January 31st, 2010

"The following mini comic book was part of a promotional collaboration between Walt Disney and General Mills. It features Mickey and Goofy, two distinct psychoactive drugs, surreptitious dosing, a bad shaman, and a "talking" elephant. When it was first produced, it was one of an 8-comic set that cost 15 cents plus one Wheaties-brand cereal box top."
