NEUROSIS' SCOTT KELLY To Preform Acoustic Solo Show At ROADBURN FESTIVAL

November 19, 2007

The organizers of the Roadburn Festival — which is scheduled to take place April 18-19, 2008, at the 013 Club in Tilburg, The Netherlands — have announced that NEUROSIS' Scott Kelly will perform an acoustic solo show (his first ever in Europe!) at next year's event. Scott Kelly will play songs from his forthcoming solo album for Neurot Recordings as well as some tracks from earlier records on Friday April 18, 2008, alongside ISIS, TROUBLE, WITCHCRAFT and TONY MCPHEE'S GROUNDHOGS, among others.

Scott Kelly comments: "Acoustic songwriting and performance has been a focus of mine over the last few years. It is a challenge that I embrace with all of my heart. The simplicity and gravity of this type of communication is something that I hid from in my earlier years of writing and performing live music. In this type of setting there's nowhere to hide, all scars are evident, all mistakes are obvious, and all intentions are known. I have been very inspired to go deeper into this experience and bring things from myself that I had previously buried. I will be performing songs that I have written for a forthcoming solo record on Neurot Recordings as well as a couple of previously released tracks. Roadburn is the place that I feel I need to bring this to light for the first time outside of the U.S. I will give it all."

GRAILS has also been confirmed for the Friday Roadburn date, April 18, 2008, and with the addition of BORIS and JESU to the Saturday Roadburn date, April 19, the lineup of the 13th annual Roadburn Festival is now complete.

Originally a spin-off of the Roadburn web site, the Roadburn Festival has emerged as an event in its own right — it was even nominated for the prestigious "Festival Of The Year" award in the Netherlands this year. Roadburn brings together bands, fans and media from around the world. Despite its international acclaim, Roadburn retains an underground vibe and ethics, but with seriously big-league production values.
