We had a blast hosting the first annual 605 Summer Classic. We had over 1700 attendees at 8th & Railroad and the vibe was phenomenal. The weather was perfect and the Dollz beat the No Coast Derby Girls!
Mayor Mike Huether gave a great speech to the crowd and blew the first whistle of the bout. When his official duties were over the mayor and his wife hung out and watched all of the amazing bands playing and ended up leaving late in the evening with a We All Have Hooks for Hands album.
A big thanks to all of the bands Soulcrate Music, The Kickback, We All Have Hooks for Hands, Flame On Entertainment, Nick Rallis Band, Avian Sunrise, A Ghostwood Calm, and Welcome to the Cinema - everyone killed it.

Thanks to Andrew Brynjulson, Cassie Medema, Micah Luke, and Shaine Schroeder for showing their talents at the art tent.
Also the Classic and party itself would not have been the same without the Dollz. Thank you for a great showing and kicking tush!
A giant thanks to Sanford Health and Wells Fargo – this event would not have been as great without their support. Also thank you to Club David for supporting us as well, along with throwing an after party that had people lining up at the door! The Medemas at Funky Fresh were amazing sponsors as well, creating our sweet website, our logo, and the poster you saw everywhere. Jayson Weihs from The Collective Efforts Union kept everything in check on stage and really helped us organize everything and run the stage. Check out his website to see what acts are coming up every week!
We still have a few limited edition screen prints and 605 Summer Classic t-shirts (pictured above). Please e-mail us at contact@605magazine.com if you are interested.
But most importantly… thank YOU to everyone who came out and supported the local music scene and made the event what it was! We definitely want to put it on again next year!
Lookout for the next issue of 605 Magazine and our Facebook page for video footage from Carlos (Midwest Motion Picture) and more photos from Walter (Studio Blu Photography).
Also, tune in for our donation to Almost Home Canine Rescue and to Sioux Falls SNIP and click the links to see how you can get involved with each organization! Two dogs were adopted Saturday at the tent
You know it was a success when we find items such as these pictured above. Those are smashed eye glasses – someone was getting into the music
