Fair gigs, the towed car, and the Tomb

Post-song discussion covers the band's four-song demo, their climb through Iowa State Fair stages (Channel 5/Lakeside to Channel 8 to the Susan Knapp stage), and a long anecdote: one host's oversized convertible was towed at the fair and he was nearly booked on concealed-weapons charges over a baseball bat and shish kebabs in the trunk. They explain 'the Tomb' — a downtown Des Moines (6th Avenue) venue hosting Christian bands Friday nights — and its famously late-running lineups.
