Australia will finally get a fix of psychedelic Norse black metal

Todd Weinstock (of Glassjaw), Brian Deneeve (From Autumn To Ashes), Tucker Rule (Thursday), Lars Weiss (Judge) and Derrick Karg (Death In The Park) have formed a new band called Get Involved!

The 2013 event looks set to be something very special.

Remember when you were young and Christmas time ruled? Well those days are gone but the feeling comes around again every so often and with only a few days until Hits & Pits 2013 kicks off we've got that feeling again. The Hits & Pits festival for 2013 kicks of this Saturday in Sydney! Following on from Sydney it will be in Brisbane’s on Sunday before the tour rolls into Canberra in the middle of next week. Then it's on to Adelaide before swinging through Melbourne and rolling to a stop in Perth. Timetables are now available and you can check them all out here. Canberra's will be released shortly. Tickets are still available and getting limited so it’s your last chance to grab one before you miss out. Seriously, Mad Caddies, Good Riddance, Voodoo Glow Skulls, A Wilhelm Scream, The Flatliners and all the kick arse Australian artists on this bill aren’t to be missed. There are no more tickets without booking fees and are only available at the new links below. Get stoked on it...
