Eleven Months Wait - Mr November For Entry To The Prestige - Mr November was used to endorse Obama in the presidential election in 08 The First Rejected - The National was outraged when Mitt Romney used Fake Empire, and rejected any connection to him. (this is a stretch, I know)
Last line could also mean their first band, Nancy, that broke up.
If only there was a musical performer who had appeared in the film The Prestige and rejected Knighthood.
Hugh Jackman recorded a soundtrack of Peter Allen songs and just did Les Miserables with Russell Crowe, who at least wouldn't be out of place at Bonnaroo. Not sure about Australians or Kiwis getting knighted...

Heres a fresh perspective and my take on it. Its Jay Electronica.
"Eleventh Months Wait" -eleven months ago Jay Elect announced that his debut album was finished and he was turning it in to his record label.
"For Entry to the Prestige" -heres where it gets better. The album is titled "ACT II Patents of Nobility: The Turn" based off of the movie The Prestige. Jay is fascinated by the movie and is basing a series of the albums on the 3 acts of a magic trick-- Act I: The pledge (already out) .. Act II: The Turn (coming this year) ... Act III: the prestige.
"The First Rejected" - okay he announced the album was done 11 months ago. Why isn't it out yet? He handed the copy of the album into Jay-Z, his boss, and Jay-Z rejected it saying it needs to have more singles. He has been working on it since and posted a tentative track list in July.
Oh, and it was posted at red rocks. Jay Electronica is signed to Roc Nation.
Food for thought. I am probably wrong. Just hopeful
Reasoning: The meaning of the clue seemed pretty obvious... the only hard part was doing a little online research. The "prestige" is obviously the Rock Hall of Fame. The "rejection" is a nominee that wasn't inducted on their first attempt, but was accepted the next year/next time they were nominated.
I only did a quick analysis of the past 3 years (http://rockhall.com is a clusterquack). Someone could dive really deep and tally up every band that had already been nominated once, before they were accepted the 2nd time. I was too lazy. I'm sure there are a few bands that could qualify from years past.
It turns out that HEART was nominated in 2012, but didn't get in until 2013----

Good work on figuring out the Rock Hall stuff...I thought about trying it but like you said, their website is such a pain for trying to figure that stuff out.
Is there any logical meaning of the first line if Heart is the answer, though? I don't know much about them...
They only go back to 2008, which is a shame. However, I don't see any announcements that were 11 months apart. Most of them were announced about 12 months apart, aside from one pair that was 14 months apart.
Can anyone point to a site that has archives of dates, nominees and inductees dating to before 2008?

I love Inforoo grammar debates. My point stands: "11 months wait" sounds like 11 months who are waiting, not a wait that lasts 11 months.
Of course, we may be nitpicking. I'm still trying to figure out a way to fit FOALS or Horse the Band into this.
FOALS tour dates:
06-03 Salt Lake City, UT - The Depot ^* 06-04 Denver, CO - Ogden Theatre * 06-05 Lawrence, KS - Granada ^* 06-07 St. Louis, MO - Pageant ^* 06-09 Pittsburgh, PA - Mr. Smalls ^* 06-11 Baltimore, MD - Ram's Head ^* 06-12 Asheville, NC - Orange Peel ^*
It is definitely Foals. Per their wikipedia page, the band rejected the first mix of their album Antidotes.
"the band decided to mix the album themselves, stating that Sitek made the first master copy of the album sound like "it was recorded in the Grand Canyon".[3] Yannis has stated multiple times during various interviews that Foals and Dave Sitek are on good terms, even though the copy by Sitek was rejected by the band"
That along with the eleven months is enough to seal it up.
