Curby/Obscene, Obscene Extreme founder says :
Some of you can be surprised why we choose Canada for another American Obscene Extreme. We have been trying hard to find a good venue in the US for over a year. I was simply trying everything, asked my friends, asked the OEF friendly bands, everyone I know and almost every person mentioned Canada as the place very close to Europe.
Well, and of course when people mention Canada they always mention Montreal as the place with huge metal/punk/hardcore scene and simply a lovely city to visit! When bands used to come for rare gigs they would always go up there. It has been known to have concerts that come closest to being in Europe.
So another year, another country, another adventure!!!
I personally can’t wait to meet all the loyal American OEF fans and supporters face to face!
I want to say that we are very serious about this festival (as any other OE festival) and we’ll try to set up a solid line-up for the first volume and try to anchor here for some more crazy shows and years.
Be there or fuck off!!!
