The KRTVN Channel 2 recently sponsored a bracketed contest for viewers to call in and select Kalistan's entry to the FOMAT contest in Deltaria this coming year.  Competition was fierce, but ultimately the winners were Kaliburg Indie Rock band the Spotted Polkadots, who will be flown to the Deltarian city of Branovice to participate in the quintennial Festival of Musical Arts in Terra contest.  There they will compete against multiple contestants and represent the Kalistani Music Industry.

Singer Johnson Weiss stated "Hah, well, I suppose the people have spoken?  I honestly think that there were any number of better bands that could have been sent, so we will go there and play our music and try to rock the house."  Drummer Megan Stripe added, "It will be fun."

The duo plays hard rock generally, but their music is considered minimalist and quite fundamentalist.  "No Frills" was the name of their first song.  The Spotted Polkadots have recently gained fame in Kalistan as the vanguard of a new rock movement in Kalistan which draws its inspiration but not its aesthetic from the Punk scene in Kalistan.  "We got tired of these highly produced, slick sounding studio projects," said Weiss.  "After all, how many times can they make the same song where the singer sounds like he has a lot of constipation and sings about how his dad abandoned him?"  "Yeah," added Stripe.  "That stuff is lame."

The Spotted Polkadots said they intend to perform music from their records "Pachyderm" and "Blasty Dammit".  Links to their entries are below:
