Kevin Drew Leads Broken Social Jamboree

in
By Matt Littlefair (CHARTattack) December 10, 2007 2:30 pm
Saturday marked Kevin Drew's second Toronto show in three months, which may have been part of the reason the Kool Haus was the less than sold out. But what the crowd lacked in numbers, it made up for in ear-shattering volume. Besides, Drew and the latest version of Broken Social Scene weren't about to let anything put a damper on a homecoming...

Broken Social Scene Give It A Go Without The Girls

in
By Noah Love (CHARTattack) September 28, 2007 1:30 am
It's pretty incredible how far Kevin Drew has come. The first time I saw Broken Social Scene (the CD release party for You Forgot It In People at Lula Lounge), the mercurial frontman stood behind a keyboard at the side of the stage for most of the show and saddled his vocals with heavily layered effects. Just less than five years and two albums...

I presume you're going to see a lot of writers using it to describe Spirit If... due to its unwieldy length and typical Broken Social Scene sonic experimentation. But I call bullshit on the haters. The fact of the matter is, if you're a BSS fan, you're going to...

Some total douchebag(s?) decided to steal gear from a Hamilton, Ont. practice space Saint Alvia and two other bands, June & July and Eat Me Suck City, use. A total of $30,000 worth of gear is missing, and you can find out what the asshat(s?) stole over at Saint Alvia's website. The bands would greatly appreciate any information about who did...

It's been a little over a year since Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning deleted their MySpace pages... so they probably figured it was about time to give this new Twitter thing a try. Drew waded into the Twitterverse on Friday, while Canning joined yesterday. Canning's only tweeted once, but it looks like Drew has the potential...

Bringing the Hal Willner Neil Young Project to Vancouver during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games was a complete no-brainer — if you're celebrating Canada's diverse talent and rich music history, it's a major coup to recruit some of the country's most revered musicians (plus American greats) to play the selected songs of one of its finest and most...
