The monsters of the music industry have been entertaining the Quad-Cities in that building called the IWireless Center in Moline, since long before I moved here 22 years ago. Some of these bands are popular for a time and some of them have an epic feel. Some of these nights, one knows they are in the presence of greatness. Last Friday night was one of those moments for me and a stadium packed completely full of metal heads. It was an AWESOME crowd, my friends. Rock and Metal band t-shirts, beautiful women with black lipstick on, mohawks and the occasional nerd (me, I wore pink.) made up an amazing... Read More

The iWireless Center hosts countless local events and brings to us the latest and the greatest legends in music on a regular basis. The Make America Rock Again rockfest came through Sept. 10 and I was lucky enough to attend this amazing display of current rock and roll bands.

The place was packed with rockers young and old. The air was filled with excitement with every boom of the bass that pounded fiercely throughout the... Read More

Everyone remembers Rick Springfield as easily as they recall the opening chords of “Jessie’s Girl,” one of the catchiest power pop tunes of all time, but Springfield has proven himself to be more than the sum of one stellar song, as he proved with energy and verve Aug. 12 at Moline’s I wireless center, during a massively entertaining 90 minute show. Springfield has always been an act I’ve enjoyed and touted to people as they’ve rolled their eyes, typically bogged down with the perception of him as a teen idol or a heartthrob actor from his time on “General Hospital,” but to anyone... Read More

His songs are fueled by huge, infectious guitar hooks often subverted by deceptively dark lyrics. His autobiography seeps with tales of debauchery, depression and a failed suicide attempt. He’s narrowly escaped death at least three times, he once registered a handful of kills in a war zone and his commercial heyday was marked by striking post-apocalyptic videos directed by “Seven” auteur David Fincher. Is it Marilyn Manson? Trent Reznor? Nope, it’s Rick Springfield, who will perform with opening acts The Fixx and The Romantics at 7:30 p.m. at the I wireless center, Moline. For tickets and... Read More
