Iowa City Yacht Club: Bio
Scott and Thane Kading
Scott and Thane Kading are the proud owners of this fine establishment. Both are from the small Iowa town of Knoxville - more appropriately known as the Sprint Car Capitol of the World. Scott had a fairly mischievous youth but went on the local prominence as the Mayor of Flagler (population 5). After being caught in a in a ruckus with a friend over his last beer, he became a part of the Jehovah's Witness Protection Program. Now on the lam, he is going back to his roots of entertainment.
Pete McCarthy
Pete (Party) McCarthy will be managing your festivities. Pete was a rock star at the age of 7, played in a band of 18 year olds when he was 13, and was a staple in the Iowa City rock scene in the 90's with Brutus and the Magical 7. Unfortunately, he has given up his life of limousines and women, but fortunately he will take great care of you at the Yacht Club.
Jess Waldmann
Trying to always be crazier than here crazy sister, Jess keeps us on our toes with here escapades. She is never fearfull to chuck a glass at you if you are out of line or are here too late, but if you happen to catch her in a good mood (which is 97% of the time), then she will make your experience here much more enjoyable.
Tunis
Only really cool people can go by one name. Madonna, Micheal, Jesus, John Wayne Gacy, Twiggy, Tunis, etc. We are not even sure if that is his first name, last name, or stage name, but this guy is cool. He takes better care of the bands than any person on the planet and treats us pretty damn good too.
Ty Byerly
Ty from the double G is all fun and games and probably never serious about anything except for folks putting us out of business. He doubles as one of our door guys and as the lead singer of one of our favorite bands of Iowa City - The Gglitch. Plus he loves to give mustache rides...
Molly Ehm
M is awesome. She's witty, charming, a good worker and a lot of fun. Plus she gets hit on by more girls than any of the guys here.
Cami Pettit
Whether you are in need of a grilled cheese, gyro, or a cocktail, Cami is there for you. She already was working about 80 hours a week so we assume that the Yacht Club's charm took ahold of her and talked her into working here, well that, and the fact that we let her take her clothes off while bartending.
Sarah Cretzmeyer
We first got to know Sarah as the sister of famed Jensen Connection/Gglitch keyboardist Brian Cretzmeyer. Well, actually, we first noticed that this very attractive young lady liked the Jensen Connection as much as we did - and if you come down here enough, eventually we make you work here. Must make sure not to let her get near a microphone.
Band/ICYC info
Please contact us if you wish to perform here. As far as promotion goes, we advertise and have our listings in all local papers, and market and promote the show heavily throughout the city. If you are not able to create a flyer, for a fee we will create one and hang it throughout the city for you as promotion is key to every shows success. Any press releases need to be forwarded to us or to the proper contacts at the publications. If you need this or any other contact information, let us know. We also have the ability to record live shows or make high quality demo CD's for a small fee - which is almost always $0.
