My Road Trip to see DEEP SEA DIVER Live in Des Moines!! Show of the Year?! (VIDEO)

This week, I take you on a road trip to see one of my favorite bands of the last decade or so, Deep Sea Diver.  My friend, Joi, and I drove to Des Moines, Iowa so I could FINALLY see this band!

The show was at xBk live in Des Moines, a cool little club that probably holds about 250-300 people (just a guess). Opening the concert was Meernaa, who played a solo electric set. 

Then it was time to see Deep Sea Diver. To say I loved the show would be an understatement. I was pretty much glued to the front of the stage the entire time. The only negative of the night...having to drive two hours home.

Thanks for stopping by for the latest episode of The Dark Stuff. As always, I very much appreciate it. It's pretty much the exact middle of the year, so it seemed appropriate to offer up some of my favorite new releases to discuss. So far, 2025 has been a great year for new music, and it wasn't easy to narrow down this list to just six.
