The David Haack Trio’s latest CD, “Who Am I” came out April 25. All the tracks on it hit iTunes later this month. But because we love you, we’ll let you listen to it here first. Click on the White Noise music player to your right.
The CD plays like a musical diary. David clearly put a lot of thought into the CD as a whole, not just individual songs, so listen to it from start to finish. Pay close attention to Haack’s guitar work. It really shines on this album. Colin Peterson’s bass gives a solid, almost retro feel, especially to the rock tracks. Master of rhythm Patrick Baker’s drums rumble and his high hat pitter patters all the way through. Catchy originals come straight from the heart and David’s vocals reveal his vulnerable side.

Saturday night the David Haack Trio released their new CD, “Who Am I” to an enthusiastic audience at Java Joe’s 4th St. Theater. The Trio is David Haack as the lead singer and guitarist, Colin Peterson on bass, and Patrick Baker on drums. Joining them for the show was tenor sax man Michael Chesnik. Chesnik, an Iowa native, now resides in Japan where he plays with jazz groups. His guest spot with the Trio is one of several performances this week, mostly centering around his alma mater at Ankeny High School.
The CD Release show had a rollicking party atmosphere, with nearly every seat in the 4th St. Theater filled and lots of shuffling back and forth to the counter at Java Joe’s for drinks and snacks. Whether folks were listening attentively from their seats or mingling around the edges of the room, they were clearly moved and driven by the music.

1. Listen to KFMG 99.1 FM this Sunday afternoon between 2 – 4 pm to catch an acoustic set by $trick9 & The Truth. Our pal Jeff (from the Baberhood) hosts. It’ll be killer. Big Joe McGuire will be pounding a mean conga. Botics on beats and strings. Duke on acoustic bass. Matty J on melodies. $trick9 sticks to words spoken quickly and rhythmically.
2. Spring Dandy is Sunday, May 3, 2009. It’s a ride from Union Park up to Cottonwood and back. Then, we will grill something tasty. Ride leaves Union Park around 10:30 am. Bicycles are strongly encouraged. I will most likely not reply to anyone who asks if they can roller skate it. Its free. All you have to do is bring a smile.
It’s Monday. It’s 40 degrees outside and the sky is spitting unflavored Icee mix down on your head. You’ve drug yourself in to work fueled by a sad cup of coffee and a Pop Tart. Face it, you need help to get through the rest of your work day. White Poison delivers! We’ve got new music up on the White Noise Player. Please direct your attention to the player on the right hand side of the page, plug in your headphones (unless you work from home, then stick it on the stereo,) and get your local music fix.
This week’s featured artist is Calous.
If I had to sum up Calous in one word it would be STRONG. Their rhythms are driving, their vocals are full of adrenaline. They’ll send that shock down your spine that you need to kick it in to high gear at work and battle your way to the top of the office typing pool.
