We cannot believe how far reaching the Battle of the Bands MKE 2025 has become. We have bands coming in from as far as Green Bay, Madison, and Kenosha. We absolutely love that this has reached that far with the great help from WAMI (Wisconsin Area Music Industry). We hope we can expand next year and, who knows, maybe this will become Battle of the Bands - WISCONSIN.

We need old Rock and Roll or music related items for decoration. Old posters, prints, signs, props, novelty guitars, etc... We want to turn a new and growing music venue into a room with a cool vibe for live music.

A limited budget has pushed this down the priority list, but maybe some fans out there have items taking up space and want to give them a new home with some purpose.
