Axiom Promotions was started in October of 1996 when I wanted to do an all ages Party for my clients. Our First show was on Sunday October 27th, 1996 with Victims Annoyous from Souix City, Going to Grandmas(a local punk band), The Have Nots, Dr. Castratia(a local Ska band of Drake students), and the Skull Caps. After around 170 kids showed up, I decided to continue to do shows on a regular bases. Money was never really the main drive behind it, it was more the case if I didn't do it who would.

So for the next four years (from the 1st show to The UK Subs on October 15th, 2000), I would work under 4 different owners as a talent buyer for Safari Nite Club and then Hairy Mary's. I've done larger show and smaller ones like Fear, Zeke, Social Distortion, The Pleasure Fuckers, The Humpers, Loaded, Reel Big Fish, At the Drive-In, The Teenage Frames, US Bombs, Vice Squad, UK Subs, Agent Orange, Agnostic Front, The Stepkings and countless others but the thing that stand out is more bring the great music I loved to Des Moines and friendships that were built over the years.

In August of 2005 I was asked to come out of a nearly 5 year retirement and start promoting shows at Hairy Mary's http://www.hairymarys.com. If you are interested in playing Mary's please contact me at davoap@axiompiericng.com or 515-991-8180.
