Greensboro, N.C. band wins FloydFest's Under the Radar contest

For the past couple of years, FloydFest has asked festival-goers to vote for their favorite band on a list of "under the radar" groups. This year's winner is The Mantras, a really energetic jam band. Check out some of the band's music at its MySpace.com page. I did a short review of one of the band's FloydFest sets on this here blog.

The Mantras have played Martin's Downtown Bar & Grill, Roanoke, a couple of times over the past year, but we might not see the band again for a while. It has signed with Perpetual Groove's management company, which is trying to get The Mantras out beyond the mid-South.
