⢠Enter to WIN FREE TICKETS to see The Mission UK on May 1 at the Mission Theater!
In late 1985 Wayne Hussey and Craig Adams left The Sisters Of Mercy and, after enlisting the talents of Simon Hinkler and Mick Brown, formed The Mission. They have a reputation as one of the best and most exciting live bands in the world. Their 2016 album "Another Fall From Graceâ has been described as a lost link between The Sisters of Mercy's "First and Last and Alwaysâ album and The Mission's own first album, "God's Own Medicine." The album has received unanimous critical acclaim and was the band's first UK Top 40 album in over 20 years! Get your tickets now, or enter to win free tix here!
Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Wed May 1, 8 pm, $35-$40, 21+
⢠Enter to WIN FREE TICKETS to see CONVERSATION on April 23 at the Mission Theater!
CONVERSATION are an emerging post hardcore band from Toronto, Ontario. Their sound contains the echoes of early Underoath and Deftones, while still carving out its own punk rock attitude with pop sensibility. CONVERSATION strikes a balance of thoughtful post-hardcore and melodically measured alternative rock, and their ravenously energetic live show is a force to be reckoned with, resulting in anyone seeing them for the first time leaving as new fans. Get your tickets now, or enter to win free tix here!
Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan, Thurs April 23, 8 pm, $15-$20, all ages

Hailing from Los Angeles, the epicenter for rock 'n' roll in all its debauchery and glamour, Steel Panther has established themselves as the world's premier party band, melding hard rock virtuosity with parody and criminally good looks. Get those tickets now or enter to win here!
Crystal Ballroom, 1332 W Burnside, Thurs April 25, $30-$45, 21+
