Broken Social Scene @ Sound Academy
Tuesday, December 21st, 2010
Four records, a book, Polaris nominations and Juno wins, a couple of side projects, and a movie. It’d be an understatement to say that Broken Social Scene are an accomplished band. They’re much more than that. The Arts & Crafts family band that varies between six and nineteen members have stolen our hearts and are a band we’re proud to call our own. Thursday, December 9th the hometown heroes played the first of their two-night stint at Toronto’s Sound Academy, and the whole gang stopped by to say hi.
The night was a jam-packed mix of songs off all four of their records, with a focus on this year’s release, Forgiveness Rock Record. After opening with World Sick and Texico Bitches, they kicked into 7/4 (Shoreline) as some more Arts & Crafts friends joined in the fun. This included Metric’s Jimmy Shaw joined in the horn section, darling songstress Leslie Feist danced and belted her heart out, and the very preggers Amy Millan of Stars was as stunning ever.
Filled with conversation, BSS chatted to the crowd about G20, Mayor Rob Ford, and their love of Toronto. With a show that reached about two and a half hours, the songs just kept going and going and the fun didn’t stop. The night didn’t end until around 1 am (Kevin Drew crowd surfing included).

11/13/09 News briefs: Dan Deacon, King Khan & BBQ, Nirvana, Slumberland Records and Beck
Friday, November 13th, 2009
Dan Deacon has injured his back. According to a Facebook event page for a gig scheduled for tomorrow night, Deacon has had to postpone his show in Worcester, Massachussetts because of an acute sciatica. Carpark Records though says he’s cancelled his entire North American tour.
The King Khan & BBQ Show were arrested last night in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. No word has been given on what the charges are, but their tour manager Kristin Klein was charged with driving with a suspended license and possession of a controlled substance.
Krist Novoselic has interviewed the guys who drummed on Nirvana’s debut album Bleach. The interviews with Chad Channing and Dale Crover were for the Seattle Weekly to commemorate the album’s 20th anniversary.
Bands on the roster of Slumberland Records have chosen their favourite releases from the catalogue. Bands such as The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Velocity Girl, Crystal Stilts and Lilys pay tribute to the indie pop label’s beloved 20-year history.
Beck continues covering artists for his Record Club with Skip Spence as his next target. Helping him out? Oh, only Wilco, Jamie Liddell and Leslie Feist. You can hear the first song, “Little Hands,” here.
