The Secret Wiki
Our purpose is to collect together as much information about bands, venues, labels and zines of the Cedar Valley alternative / punk / underground music scene in Iowa from 1977-2007.
This Wiki is connected with the exhibit "The Secret History of the Cedar Valley", which ran from March 17 to April 14, 2007 at the Wartburg College Art Gallery in Waverly, IA.
