about

Excerpt from Iowa State Daily: bit.ly/2FG3jri

Friendships also blossomed between Grain USA and members of other local bands, which eventually led to the formation of the Ames Independent Music Society.

"People pooled their efforts," Bellon said. "We couldn't afford to release our own CDs, so we did the 'AIMS Compilation' and it gave everyone a chance.

"I think the feeling of most of the local bands was that music was part of their life, but it wasn't their entire life," Bellon said. "We were all more doing it for fun, which tends to make music more enjoyable.

"Ames had such a rich scene back then, it's too bad that it can't be documented. In a college town, people just aren't there long enough for it to be remembered," Bellon said.
