Damn. Hopefully everyone can fit inside Launch for this because it's definitely going to be packed.

Are people gonna beat the shit out of Alpha And Omega and Xibalba at this show?
I am not an immediate buy in when people cry wolf at punk shows. Being punk doesn't exempt anyone from being an asshole or a drama vampire. The hole homophobia, jock bullshit they are being ousted for in Vancouver rings pretty damn true.
Whoever booked this should tell those two groups to fuck off and do a Power Trip show.

Tumblr drama for the fucking win... I hope you're not serious John.

I think the initial reaction is overblown. Actually, it seems like Xibalba didn't have anything to do with it. Their guitarist cooked up a plan for that and I left my tin foil hat at home.
I have a feeling that the alleged story of what followed after that holds some water at this time. I'm not a true believer in the plaintiff's story as 100% accurate. Finding some more input, it is getting harder to tell if Alpha And Omega were part of the confrontation or their friends/fans that got involved later on.
I was being facetious about kicking their asses. If I booked the show I would definitely do some thinking about it. Grabbing someone at a show who you don't know and mock humping their noggin is a no-no in my book. You can goof around with your friends like that, but not strangers
And I have kept tabs on this in sources outside tumblerrible.

Well, that's fair enough, then. Everyone is out for blood right after something is made public, what's new. I'll let it unfold and then make a decision based on what seems more believable. But the real question... who mock-humps someone's head? I didn't know that was funny to anyone except for nerdy Halo players who know what tea-bagging is.

Look, if your first reaction to these situations is not to say "fuck these bands," then fuck you.

seems like some 2000's nyhc run of the mill shit. not my jam.

If it was my show I'd definitely be treating it like Poosch suggests. Needless to say I'm steering clear of this show specifically due to the Vancouver incident.

What is all this about and what happened in Vancouver?

Gee, Tumblr sheep not citing their sources? I hope this doesn't make all the keyboard jockeys stop going to shows! Oh, wait...

The source's have been from the two people involved in the situation and the bands even stating there was a conflict at that show. You are probably correct, though. I am retiring from punk now.

Let me rephrase that, will someone post the article ON HERE instead of just telling everyone to hate these bands?

...much like this one you probably didn't read, but decided instead to take a stranger's word on something you know nothing about and have no way of ever fully understanding. You weren't there, you will probably never know what actually happened, and you should quit dragging folks' names through the mud.

I hear there's a band called End Trails playing at the Metal Frat that night. I'm sure they're much better than Alpha & Omega.

And Xibalba.

Yeah, the Punknews "get the full story here" scoop really hits the nail on the coffin of everything that happened.

so what was the "surprise guest from canada thing all about"?

"We will never know the facts, so quit trying to ruin my fun! This woman, like most other women who claim to be assaulted, is probably lying. Just let me mosh to really bad bro metal in peace!"

There, now we have your point of view.

Did you read where I said I was getting information from multiple sources and the band admitted there was a confrontation?

Ahem, did I ever DENY any of that shit happening? I'm just saying you internet trolls oughta mind your own damn business and stop reblogging gossip just because you want everyone else out there to think you're SO opinionated. Fuck your scene politics, quit talkin shit.

"Band admitted there was a confrontation" essentially means "well something sure happened". You also have yet to do anything but allude to these sources. If you're going to make these kinds of allegations you damn well better be prepared to back them up. This is the hardcore scene, not Rolling Stone.

mannnnnnnnnnnnn, who cares?

Ha, I guess I have no defense against that one. Keep your shitty attitude behind the computer screen.

Yeah, she better have some solid evidence that she was touched in a way that made her uncomfortable by a guy that she doesn't know. I'm talking multiple eye-witnesses, finger prints or hard video evidence. Otherwise, she's just making it up for attention because that's what girls totally do. Right on!
