Battle of the Bands article highlights Sajak

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

On July 24th this year, MNSka band Sajak played at the Cravings To Go Battle of the Bands 2 as one of the six finalists.  Fox 9 and Cravings To Go have posted a blog entry detailing that crazy night.  Here’s what they had to say about Sajak:

Donning alternating black & white dress shirts and ties, Sajak appeared all business while a straight faced band member quietly said “Sajak” into the mic.

The band then turned the somber mood on its head by kicking into some classic ska/punk music with a hyperactive brass section, upbeat chunking guitar, and singable choruses with no shortage of “Hey’s” to join in on.

The band kept their set fast and fun as the crowd responded accordingly by dancing to the infectious grooves. Sajak also did an excellent job putting the night into perspective by exclaiming “It’s all about pizza, it’s all about Taco Bell, but it’s also about music.”

To check out more pictures of Sajak and the rest of the blog entry, check it out here.

Sajak did not place in the top 3, unfortunately.
