Artificial Stars
Alternative rock band Artificial Stars take inspiration from their Sioux City roots. The Midwest can be cold and dark, but it’s also ingrained with a certain distinctive charm. The band’s music reflects the navigation of this environment, of trying to find a way through the darkness. On some tracks, their sound is laden with lament and conflict. Other songs possess a cathartic vigor. The raw feelings in each song are offset with catchy guitar riffs and innovative rhythms, making the even the more somber tracks fun to listen to. Having already won several local music contests, Artificial Stars are poised for an ascent to great heights.

Bob Roe’s
“My favorite Sioux City restaurant has to be Bob Roe’s, I grew up in Morningside so everyone knows how big of a deal Bob Roe’s is especially on game day, when I use to play sports that was always the dinner spot! Just a lot of great memories, great pizza, and the best wings in the midwest.” - Bucii
