The Dark Stuff by Dave Splash

Dave Splash is a music junkie, but not in the Iggy Pop/Keith Richards sense. It's just that music is what he likes, what he knows, and, most importantly, what he writes about. Dave will be covering the music scene in Omaha, from the national acts that put the city on the map, to whatever small band is the Next Great Hope. A former record label owner (think Puff Daddy, only bigger), he appears Sunday nights at 9pm on 89.7's New Day Rising show. Didn't like that band he loved? Tell him about it.
Baltimore dream-pop duo Beach House Spring Is Here! Bring on the Rock!
Like a Grizzly Bear waking up from winter hibernation, the Omaha music scene is back this Spring, and it's hungry! National acts (Black Lips, Girls, Julian Casablancas) will mix with local faves (Capgun Coup, It's True). Everyone's here...Minus the Bear.
Melt Banana My Omaha Alternative Holiday Experience
Omaha challenges the notion that the Holidays are a dead season for music. Cursive, The Faint, and Conor Oberst all come home to perform special shows; up-and-comers It's True, stalwarts KISS and Mousetrap, and many others play a crowded month of shows.
