Change of plans

The Mix 'n' Mash tour, coming through Brisbane in 2 weeks, mixed together hardcore, metal and pop-punk acts. I always thought it was an odd mix of bands, but it would probably appeal to a lot of people.

However, the line up has now changed, with two bands pulling out. Including one of the two I would've gone to see. Both You Me and Six and Bleeding Through have pulled out of the tour. Leaving Parkway Drive, Confession and the Wonder Years to do the tour. It appears there is a replacement in a band called Miss May I, but being metalcore, there's only the one pop-punk band left on the bill now. So instead of being a mix, it'll be more lopsided.

It's still May 18 and it's still at the Riverstage.

I Don't Even...

Well, here's a tour for you to scratch your head over.

The Mix n Mash tour, coming through Brisbane on May 18 at the Riverstage, will combine local and international hardcore and pop-punk bands. This mixture blows my mind. On one hand, you'll have the mosh heavy Bleeding Through, Confession and Parkway Drive; which most of the pop-punk children will just shake their heads at and cover their bleeding ears during. On the other hand you have pop-punk the Wonder Years and You Me At Six, which I'm sure the hardcore kids will use quite inappropriate slurs for homosexuals to deride, all while yelling during their sets.

It's a clever concept, the bands are obviously all friends. But what will the crowds be like? Ticket prices are apparently under $50, so if you like any 2 of these bands (or more) check it out.

Personally, I'd go almost for Bleeding Through. We don't see them much any more, and their album Truth is still one of my favourite heavier albums.
