Jakata writes  One of Detroit's most well known Power-Pop bands has finally, after years of dedication, received airplay on Detroit's only new rock alternative, 89x (88.7fm), and we're not talking about the *Homeboy Show. Unexpectedly chosen by 89x as a challenger on Phat Matt's *People's Choice on Friday, March 12th, with their song "List" -- The Fags narrowly beat their opponent by only a 53% margin. The band had no time to celebrate this accomplishment as they were scheduled to depart for Austin, Texas on Monday, March 10th to help represent Detroit @ the *South By Southwest convention.
On Monday, The Fags were showcased as the 89x People's Choice Champion for the first time, pitted against a band representing Austin @ the SXSW. They called it the "SXSW Showdown: Detroit vs. Austin" -- We won. The now two time People's Choice Champion, will be defending their title tonight (Tuesday, March 11th) and every night thereafter until they are dethroned.
