Secondhand Ska Kings and Dred I Dread in Fox9 BOTB Semifinals

Friday, June 26th, 2009

MNSka would like to congratulate the Secondhand Ska Kings and Dred I Dread for making it to the semifinals of the Fox 9 Battle of the Bands 3!  This puts them in the top 15 bands in the competition.  There are 5 rounds of voting, the first of which has already begun.  At the end of each round, the bottom 2 vote-getters will be eliminated from the competition until 5 finalists remain.

MNSka is proud to be represented by these bands and needs you all to start voting for them!  You can vote once per hour, meaning it is possible to vote 24 times a day!  We understand you all have lives, but show your support and let’s see if we can get a little ska and reggae in the finale event on August 6th at the Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis, MN.
