NEUROSIS To Bring 'Beyond The Pale' Festival To Holland's ROADBURN

August 6, 2008

Long-running Oakland, California-based industrial/alternative/metal pioneers NEUROSIS have been confirmed for next year's Roadburn festival, set to take place April 23-25 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

Commented the organizers: "Roadburn is very pleased to invite our spiritual brethren from NEUROSIS to host a European version of their 'Beyond The Pale' festival. We couldn't imagine anyone being more attuned to the atmosphere and energy of Roadburn than NEUROSIS, and offering them the opportunity to stage the first-ever 'Beyond The Pale' outside of the U.S. is our way of honoring their enormous contributions to underground music as well as their iconic style and sound.

"On Saturday, April 25, NEUROSIS will have complete freedom to invite all the bands and set the lineups for each of the stages. Over the years, NEUROSIS has exhibited an amazing commitment and dedication to the art of underground music, something that we at Roadburn understand and appreciate completely. We are looking forward to the new ideas that they will bring to the festival, as we feel NEUROSIS are truly kindred spirits. We look forward to uniting at Roadburn 2009."

Commented NEUROSIS' Steve Von Till: "The mission of 'Beyond the Pale' is for us to honor the spirit and power of sound with people that we feel are kindred spirits. We want to bring together a diverse group of people who push the envelope, are truly original, and have that unspeakable fire and inspiration flowing through their art.

"In our 23 years of existence, we have had very few experiences that felt as right as our initial performance at Roadburn in 2007. Roadburn is a unique experience in the often disappointing and disingenuous world of music; it is a festival organized and run by people with a true passion and dedication to sound. Roadburn is a completely different experience than the traditional music festival. It is a small, intimate, extremely well organized festival, put together by people who love the bands, and thrive on creating a unique social vibe where the lines between artist, audience, and staff are often completely blurred. In the spirit of this commitment we are proud to announce that the day of April 25, 2009 at Roadburn will be a rekindling of 'Beyond The Pale'. We will be performing as well as curating the entire day's events.

"2009 also marks the 10th anniversary of our own label, Neurot Recordings. What an amazing way to mark our first decade as a label. I believe that Roadburn and NEUROSIS share a clarity of vision that will result in an amazing experience for us all."
