Battlerusa 2006 & Covers!

Moonstruck Promotions and Loyal Family have announced a wonderful opportunity for some lucky Midwest bands. Battlerusa 2006 will kickoff January 18th and run until early February making visits in Coloradio, Kansas, Nebraska, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa. Each city will have winner that will perform at this year's Wakarusa Music Festival in Lawrence, Kansas. Wakarusa is one of the biggest Midwestern festivals drawing more than 15,000 fans and many great performances last year. Not only will the winning bands play at Wakarusa they will also be featured on compilation CD!

This seems like a no brainer for bands looking to expand their horizons. I know I will be making plans to possibly make my way to Madison to see some of Wisconsin's finest perform.
