The members of Greensky Bluegrass and Mandolin Orange have announced a Color War competition. The bands will face off in classic games such as a three legged race and a pie eating contest. There was some initial controversy with Mandolin Orange balking at the tug of war, arguing, “(A) They have so many more members and (2) Anders [Beck] has well-practiced palms.”

The terms of the contest are that that if Mandolin Orange wins, then Dave Bruzza has to shave off his mustache. Should Greensky prevail, both Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz have to grow similar staches of their own. The contest will occur in festivals throughout this summer and will be judged by the surviving members of Pink Floyd and Deep Purple.
