Wouldnt it be cool if PKI did a Battle of the bands tounramnet like Bogarts does with their High School Band challenge and Rumble. I think this would be something really cool that would get more teens to come out and be better than that thing last year....whatever that thing was called Xtended play or whatever. You could have rap, rock, punk, all kinds of music. (Although there would be strict rules of course so nothing bad is promoted, which is completely understandable) I play in a band and I would love to do something like this, especially at Kings Island! What do you guys think?

P.S. Please check out my bands website: We are called - COMBAT STUPENDOUS

While I like the idea, Xtended Play was a joke and just didn't work at all. I think one of the DJ's showed up. I can't see PKI doing a Battle of the Bands, because it's not family friendly.

Thats true, it isnt really family friendly. I think it would bring out a good crowd though. Bogarts usually gets a good amount of kids to come out to the HSBC and makes a ton of money on concessions. If KI did this at night it would probably get a good turnout among young people.

I agree with the family friendly thing.

...yeah its true....it doesnt seem like something PKI would go for....but hey my band is family friendly!! We play a variety of songs that encourage people to get up and dance and just have fun with the music.

and how family friendly was Xtended Play?

Tons of Squad cars and someone getting maced.

my point exactly.

More like half the people in attendance that night................

There is a band concert event happening in may. My schools band will be there for it, we just havent got the Date and time yet, but who cares

I support the cause Ronny. Me being the roadie for Combat Stupendous I say that this could happen. It might not get as much attention as Xtended Play did but hey its worth a shot. Rap is so popular its sick. I think a "real" music atmosphere with real sounds made from a persons talent not a computer or mixing device is what kids these days need. Rap blows and Rock owns. America is just f***ed up and this is exactly what KI and the American people need.

Go Pinstripes!

Go Prarie Dog Gangsters!

Hell yeah!! GO PDG AND PINSTRIPES!! I am friends with PDG and they are the #1 Ska band in the Cincinnati area, if not the #1 local band! They will win this years HSBC!!

Whats Xtended Play? That never happened...

Yeah, PDG is from my school. We're pretty proud of them.

My friends and I have gone to just about every PDG HSBC show since last year, we are always the guys with the homemade PDG t-shirts who skank (skank as in the ska dance) and scream and go to Bogarts two hours early and sit in front of the door just to make sure we get up front to see PDG.
