Picked To Click 2011: Predictions
Its that time of the year again, election season! And what election could be more important than the one in which as a music scene we all get together and vote for our own bands and our friends’ bands and the bands on our labels in order to figure out who is “picked to click?” That’s right, its time for the City Pages annual new band contest (“new”perhaps should be in quotation marks). Last year’s winner was Pink Mink. Who will it be this year? We are each making some guesses to try and see who can come closest to predicting the scene’s new king/queen. Come mid October we’ll be able to see who was right, who was wrong, and which local bands will be profiled in the CP’s annual music issue.

It’s unanimous: Cloak Ox rules
you heard it here first
Idea: Start up a band to challenge Cloak Ox’s supremacy. We should call it Clock Oaks.
Mine’s called Cloak Glocks
“I used to watch Chips / now I Cloak Glocks clips”
Perhaps too obvious, if it were southern hip hop: Yoke Ox.
didn’t is/is get in picked to click last year? and isn’t elite gymnastics more than a year old? claps is more than a year old and myrrh and night moves and nightosaur.
You are right about Is/Is.
But generally the contest has a pretty liberal view of what bands are considered “new” so we have too.
fixed
throwing a vote in for Hot Freaks as well although they have only played maybe three shows
