Warped Tour Wannabes

Smartpunk.com is hosting an online contest to get bands onto its stage at the Warped Tour. A few local groups have registered and are asking fans for votes through May 15. Go here and pull up the menu to vote.

The KC bands in the running that I recognize: Dead Girls Ruin Everything, the Esoteric, Flee the Seen and Super Black Market.

The Esoteric wants to get Warped.

The winners get “one of three 5-day slots or one of four 2-day slots,” which means they don’t get to do the entire tour, though a five-day slot could be a lot of fun and quite possibly productive.

Oh, and be sure to vote for mayor today ‘n shit.
