The line-up for the battle of the bands includes Story Boxx from Snoqualmie, Mushroom Tea and Take Back from Yakima, The Lights and Autumn Electric from Seattle and Midnight Lights and Prey the Hunter from here in Ellensburg, with their genres ranging from classic and indie rock to reggae and post-grunge.
