MySpace a place for friends

The 2009 Battle of the Bands is heating up! Sound checks are done, and it’s time to see who’s goin’ to crank up the volume.

Voting officially kicks off on May 31st. Vote in your P.J.s. Vote when the boss isn’t looking. Vote as you’re lounging by the pool with your laptop. Just log on and vote, vote, vote.

Not sure how you vote? It’s easy. Just visit a band’s profile page, scroll all the way to the bottom and click on the “VOTE” link to put in your two cents.

And please remember, don’t be “that guy” who post vulgarities and obscenities. It’s just not cool. And we do monitor all comments and you’ll get blacklisted. Bummer.

The semi-finals will be held on July 3rd and 4th in downtown Toledo as part of the Red, White, KABOOM celebration. And if you’ve got what it takes, finals will be August 6th and 7th at the 26th Annual Andersons Rib Off.

Show us what you’ve got. And fans, rate who you think has the talent that best showcases who Toledo is. The Blade’s 2009 Battle of the Bands is on!
