80/35 Wild Card band entries

80/35 Wild Card band entries

We asked which Iowa bands would like a shot to play the second annual 80/35 Music Festival in downtown Des Moines, and dozens responded.

Click through this photo gallery to see the entries that we received from around the state, representing a wide variety of music styles. (Also included are handy links to hear each act's original music.)

The next step: A panel of judges is whittling down the entries to 10 finalists and then you, dear public will vote here on the site starting May 6. 

We don't have photos for the following bands that entered:
