I only recognize the names of two bands on the list. :\
 
I saw Vreid twice and i can tell you they're awsome live.
i prefer their music live then on disk, unlike some bands who's sound doesn't really "pass' live.

Goddam Obtest .... I really need to book my tickets now.

Kris, what happened to getting only 2-3 bands from overseas, I see there are like 7 of them. Awesome line-up.

Thanks Seb!

Well, we of course are not paying for the flights for all the bands, its just not economically feasible.

So what we did is we sent out emails to some bands we like and said we have a slot for them if they can fly themselves over. A couple bands jumped at that. We also had a couple contact us and ask the same thing. So next thing we knew we had 8 bands from overseas. Very cool.

Thats basically the story.
 
Do you know if it will be worth flying in on Thursday night? or when the line-up will be posted?

True, if they want to pay for their tickets that's awesome. I hope that with all the bands you are bringing in people will at least pour to the venue like beer from a keg. Keep it up Kris ... I owe you a drink in MN.
 
Holy shit! Slough Feg! What a great line-up. Two-day pass coming up. Wish it was still at Star Central or even the Quest with its two stages. Station-4 is a pretty "cozy" place. But shit happens.

Also, the Amon tour date in MN is scheduled at the Quest on Dec 13th. Hope that fire doesn't affect the show being cancelled!
