'Quad Con' held at the Southern Hills Mall
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — Geeks, gamers and Cosplayers get on your mark, as Quad-con has invaded the Southern Hills Mall in Sioux City this weekend. This is the second year of the event at the mall, and it has everything from comic books, video games, action figures, original art and you can Cosplay as your favorite character. 'This is a celebration of all things pop culture. You're going to find anything from Pokémon action figures, comic books. You're going to find original art from the artists that are set up here. It's a mishmash of everything people are into right now. If you're looking for something for that hard-to-find nerd in your life, this is the place to come, said John Wells, the Event Coordinator for Quad Con. According to organizers, this event is a great way to 'dip your toe' in the water if you've never attended a Comic-Con before and want to experience it. 'It's a way to go to a comic book convention lite. You know, it's not the full experience but you will see the same vendors at these shows. We don't have guests, we don't have panel discussions, we don't have all these other things and ultimately that all costs money and we're a free event,' added Wells. The event is going on during normal mall hours and it concludes Sunday at 6:00 p.m.. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

The best new Australian music to listen to this month
Teether & Kuya Neil, Yearn IV Naarm's (Melbourne's) underground music scene can feel like a deranged pot-luck dinner – club rats, art punks and rap surrealists seasoning their demented bone broth with unknown spices pinched from ziplock bags. Teether and Kuya Neil come bubbling out of that soup's peak-boil with their debut album, Yearn IV. Neil, one of the country's most visionary producers, sets the vibe on album opener Scratch the Flea Point with a murky Enter Sandman -esque guitar line and added breakbeats; Teether pokes fun at his hometown on Cosplay ('Half of the club cosplay low class/ How you got all that designer on?'); and on Dial Up (featuring Stoneset) he conjures his trademark feverish imagery ('Who filled the city with rats? Breathing the hottest of breath/ Pig on my bag, down my neck, screaming'). Yearn IV locates its energy in Naarm's community, cultures and creativity, pokes fun at its class contradictions and hedonism, and isn't afraid to embody the present moment's existential dread in Neil's swampy but nonetheless electric production. Teether's tongue is on fire, but ultimately Yearn IV' s a bisque to burn the brain. Nick Buckley Montaigne, it's all about the money If you had to guess which local pop artist would manage to work the lyric 'I am renouncing the monetary system' into a gleefully pinballing art-pop track, your mind may have drifted to Montaigne. It's all about the money is the fourth single from Montaigne's upcoming fourth album, and it's a return to their best: piercing and funny, with a delicious sticky melody that will bounce in your head for days. The production, by Montaigne with assistance from talented dance producer Wave Racer, bursts with bright guitars and jaunty electronic effects. The Sydney artist's new album, it's hard to be a fish, will land on June 19, and it marks their first as a fully independent artist after splitting with major label Sony a few years back. They recently joked on April Fool's Day that they had re-signed, which is perhaps an indication of how little love is lost between the two parties.
