Edmonton trio Dead Fibres have become cult heroes thanks to their scarily catchy tunes and destructive live shows. These Massif faves are bringing their punk-grunge mayhem back to Nelson for another round of good times, and we couldn’t be happier! Temper your ears on Bandcamp, find them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter—and for the love of all that is (un)holy, grab whatever Massif tickets are still available!
