You know what I think is cool about the list of bands announced today for SunnO)))‘s curated event at Roadburn 2011? Yeah, it’s got the Southern Lord stuff like The Secret, Earth and Attila Csihar, and I think we all saw that coming, and a couple other cool acts, but then there’s Beaver. That’s right, Beaver.

Once Josh Homme‘s purported favorite band, they’re the little-known Dutch stoner outfit who got the shaft in 2001 when Man’s Ruin folded after releasing their album, Mobile and haven’t put out a record since. They’re playing. I can’t wait to see them. I’ll bet you anything in the world they fucking kill it.

Here’s the news off the Roadburn site, which if you’re not checking regularly for updates, you should be, as there are more bands being unveiled every day:

Legendary doom pioneers Winter, along with Earth, Scorn, Beaver, Aluk Todolo, Menace Ruine, Hooded Menace, The Secret and Atilla Csihar’s Void ov Voices, have been confirmed for SunnO)))‘s curated event at Roadburn Festival 2011, set for April 15 at the 013 venue in Tilburg, Holland.

As curator, SunnO))) (Greg Anderson and Stephen O’Malley) are personally selecting the bands that will play during their special event, as well as performing a headlining show. SunnO))) is Roadburn’s fourth curator, following David Tibet in 2008, Neurosis in 2009 and Triptykon’s Tom Gabriel Warrior at this year’s festival in April.

SunnO))) comments: “SunnO))) is honored to present the first part of our guests for the curated day at Roadburn, April 15, 2011. They represent a broad range of bands we are fans of, and in many cases some of our closest friends and collaborators. We hope you appreciate the selection, and look forward to announcing more of our selection and allies…”
