The High Bidders - Original Pop & Roll

Original Pop & Roll

ABOUT

The High Bidders is a Pop and Roll band from Des Moines, Iowa that performs all original music. Everybody writes and lyrics reference everything from the English Civil War to necrophilia to bottisatva's, agricultural price supports, Socialism, and even salt and pepper shakers. This is the third incarnation of the band which first performed at a fundraiser for the Montessori school that several member's kids attended. On July 7, 2024, Peter Buck, formerly of R.E.M. proclaimed "That's a good name" when discussing the band following a Baseball Project show in Des Moines.
