We could not be more honored to announce the third annual FEaST this October 30th to November 2nd in Iowa City, Iowa.

For eight years, Feed Me Weird Things was a listening series focusing on rare and esoteric musics meant to arouse empathy from deep listening. This year’s FEaST is the commemoration of this ethos, programming and legacy and looks to celebrate the mad genius of our dear friend and guide to and through the deep, dark and unknown, Chris Wiersema.

But it is once again time to revel in the art and curation that was sown by Chris, who had booked almost the entirety of FEaST before we lost him this March. So many thanks to the great expertise, help and heart of Katy, Grace, Red, Gabi, Paige, Colin, Regina, Elisabeth, Claire, Elly, Ioannis, Nina, John, Brian, Andre and of course Anne, and everyone else who’s stepped up to lend a hand, an ear, and/or a hug.

As sad as this all could be, it truly is a thing of beauty to see this level of talent, verve and daring all in one place, and is a testament to the generational programmer that he was, and would have continued to be.

All details for ticketing, times, and locales can be found at the FMWT website and @feastiowacity.

Though we may be without his guiding hand, he has handed us the reins: we are going to make this a FEaST he’d be fucking proud of.

And of course none of this would be possible without Sarah Davachi, Circuit des Yeux, Wolf Eyes, Maria Chavez, Zeena Parkins, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Ava Mendoza and Friend (Jon Mueller + Andrew Fitzpatrick): thank you for making this all happen.

With a leaking heart but bountiful love for all, and an excitement tempered only by distance…
Your pal in all this,

Dylan Marcus McConnell
