Donkeytown Battle

It’s Battle of the Bands in Donkeytown again. 

Local favorites, The Clints are being challenged by a surging, upstart group from Indietown called The Sands. 

While The Clints have spent years slugging it out in local bars building the Donkeytown scene, the exciting sound of The Sands has sparked unexpected enthusiasm nationwide, rallying many new supporters to Donkeytown for the first time.

As always, the residents will decide the winner.

The Clints, stalwarts of the Donkeytown scene, have definitely put in the time, supported lesser-known “down-ticket” bands through the years, and cultivated alliances that have lasted decades. 

But if familiarity breeds contempt, then The Sands still stand a chance since their fresh, exciting sound energizes Donkeytown residents who feel that The Clints have sold out, filling them with zeal not felt since The Bamas first burst on the scene (and won), 8 long years ago.

Both bands are brilliant.  The crowds roar their approval.  Both bands feel they should win.  Their fans passionately make their cases for why their preferred band was better.

If you were a 25-year resident and supporter of the Donkeytown scene, whom would you choose?

           

And would you really be surprised to hear that some residents were biased in favor of the band that’s been supporting their local scene for the last 25 years? 

Would it surprise you to find that the ground game of the band from Indietown was not be as strong as the band with the venerated connections to Donkeytown residents?

If The Clints win because of this, is the competition “rigged?”

Does this mean they “cheated” and “stole” the contest?

Or would they simply be politically reaping what they’ve sewn?
