     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. 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 days events.
     
     -Scott Kelly
     
     
     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 they are truly kindred spirits. We look forward to uniting at Roadburn 2009.
     
     
     
     Steve Von Till comments: "It is a great honor and privilege to have asked to host our own Beyond the Pale event at Roadburn 2009.
     
     Since playing Roadburn 2007, we could think of no better people to work with on this event than the organizers and promoters of Roadburn and the wonderful staff at the 013. 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.
     
     "
     
     "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.
     
     "
     
     
     Roadburn 2009 will run for three days from Thursday, April 23 to Saturday, April 25 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland. There will be an additional afterburner event on Sunday, April 26, 2009. More info will follow.

   • Hmmmmm... I'm not sure this is a good thing, but I shall wait and see.

   • They generally have good taste, so I think it may be really good.
     
     If you look back at who they have played with over the years we could be in for a real treat, Entombed, Today Is The Day etc?

   • Sure the line up will be great,
     hope some of the neurosis side projects that don't play live much end up on the bill.

   • I'm sure they'll stay away from a 'Neurot label show'. Will be interesting to see who they pick. Has certainly sparked my interest for Roadburn 2009 already.

   • Oooh, tasty. Definitely making an effort to get down there next year.

   • I'll reserve judgement till the line-up's announced.

10. • Jack
    • not sure i like the idea
    • [10:48 on 08/08/08]

    • Remember its four days this year, so this is only one day that might not be to everyones tastes, I'm sure it will still be stoner rock and the like for the rest of it as the Festival has massive links with that genre and wouldn't be the same without it I'm sure.

12. • mamba
    • I think it would've been better to do this on the Sunday like they did with the Current93 thing and keep the core of the festival to the Friday and Saturday. I will still reserve judgement until some bands are announced though.
    • [10:58 on 08/08/08]
13. • mike
    • Yeah I mean you never know, they run the Neurot label which has quite a varied roster and they may well pick some bands that would otherwise never play, could go either way at this stage I think!

14. • mamba
    • I trust Walter's judgement to pick bands I like more than I do Neurosis unfortunately.
    • [11:06 on 08/08/08]
15. • mike
    • Yeah, I think I do too.
    • [11:08 on 08/08/08]
16. • Jack
    • what mamba said. I'm not a neurosis fan so a day curated by them doesn't excite me a lot
    • [11:16 on 08/08/08]
17. • alan
    • I'm more just chuffed that Neurosis are on.
    • [12:29 on 08/08/08]
18. • paul g
    • I reckon it'll be great,
      it's not really like they are going to pick a load of old shit is it?
      
      I'd like to see guapo, harvestman, grails, om and unsane.
    • [13:38 on 08/08/08]
19. • mike
    • Om and Unsane would be fantastic actually.
      
      I think they will pick at least one or two of the following-
      
      Red Sparowes
      A Storm Of Light
      Battle Of Mice
      Om

    • I think I'm one of the few people who LOVES the Battle of Mice record. Pisses all over Made out of Babies and Red Sparrows!
      
      I for one would like to see Grails, Tribes of Neurot, Tarantula Hawk (seriously underated band!) and Guapo.
