News : MO Sponsored gig: Festival de la Grenouille

By on July 30, 2009

Just a reminder that MetalObsession.net is sponsoring an awesome one day festival this Friday night at Melbourne’s Corner Hotel – Festival de la Grenouille. Headlined by Eyefear, and featuring such bands as Alarum, Ne Obliviscaris and Be’lakor, it’s a night not to be missed!

FESTIVAL DE LA GRENOUILLE (Festival of the Frog), brings together 8 of Melbourne’s leading metal bands, for an amazing night of metal across 2 stages!

As many already know, Melbourne band Ne Obliviscaris acquired an amazing new lead guitarist, Benjamin Baret, from France in August, 2008. And with his current visa expiring this August, Benjamin’s main hope of staying in Australia long term is a ‘Distinguished Talent’ visa that would extend his stay in Australia at least another 4 years. The only catch, is that it costs more money to apply than he or the band has, (typical broke metal musicians!) and so this amazing line-up has been put together to raise the money for Benjamin’s visa, to help keep him in Australia long term; to help keep a frog an Aussie!

As well as the amazing line-up of Eyefear, Ne Obliviscaris, Alarum, Be’lakor, The Ocularis Infernum, In Malice’s Wake and A Million Dead Birds Laughing, Festival De La Grenouille also marks the live debut of an amazing new tech/death band, Primordial Space, featuring Benjamin Baret (guitar) and Brendan Brown (bass) from Ne Obliviscaris and brothers Miles and Glenn Krenzin (drums and guitar respectively); definitely a live debut not to be missed.

So whether it’s to support the cause, or just to see the great bands, we hope to see you at the Corner Hotel on July 31 for the Festival De La Grenouille! (And it’s only $15!)

This event is proudly supported by both MetalObsession.net and OzProg.
