After winning over fans and critics alike with their debut album Montréal $ud in 2013, Dead Obies announce the arrival of their sophomore effort this winter 2016.
Always looking to push boundaries, the band will record the album, made of entirely new songs, in front of a live audience during a series of three concerts at PHI Center on October 14th, 15th, and 16th. This is a great opportunity for fans to be a part of the new album while the band captures the energy of a live show. Tickets for the shows are on sale now via deadobies.com and on PHI Center’s website.
To mark the occasion, Dead Obies are offering a glimpse of their new record by giving away four new tracks for free via deadobies.com.
Nominated for Album of the Year - Hip-Hop and Album of the Year - Critics’ Choice at the 2014 L’Autre Gala de l’ADISQ, MCs Snail Kid, 20Some, Yes McCan, O.G. Bear, RCA and producer VNCE have come a long way since their beginning in 2011. Montréal $ud‘s critical success helped place Dead Obies at the forefront of Quebec’s rap scene.
The opus’ first anniversary was marked by the publication of an eponymous book that dissects the band’s music and lyrics. The $ud Sale saga concluded in March 2015 with the unveiling of 4:20 avec Dead Obies, a humoristic cartoon series that offered fans a trippy behind-the-scenes window into the boys’ lives.
Don’t miss Dead Obies’ free show on June 15th, 11pm during the FrancoFolies de Montréal on the La Presse+ stage!
