For those who are hitting the festival circuit this summer, you're probably already aware that Broken Social Scene has been responsible for some of the summer's most joyous, exciting performances. If you haven't made it to these shows, now's your chance to see the band shine: Toronto's finest will be extending the Something For All Of Us Tour, which starts this August, into the Fall for performances across the U.S. Named after the newest album in the Broken Social Scene Presents series, Brendan Canning's amazing solo record – Something For All Of Us… (out now on Arts + Crafts), the tour will feature Broken Social Scene as a seven-piece including band staples Brendan Canning, Kevin Drew, Justin Peroff, Charles Spearin, Apostle of Hustle's Andrew Whiteman, Sam Goldberg and Leon Kingstone.
Starting today, fans will be able to purchase tickets, before they go on sale to the general public, on the Arts & Crafts online store – Gallery AC. The pre sale will run until 5PM EST on Friday, August 1st. One lucky fan from each city will also win an exclusive, autographed silk-screened tour poster. Visit http://arts-crafts. ca/bssticketing to order tickets.
For the Something For All Of Us Tour, Broken Social Scene will be performing songs from Brendan Canning's brilliant record, in addition to tracks from the 2007 release Kevin Drew's Spirit If… and tons of fan favorites from their incredible discography. The songs from Canning's album have quickly become integral to the Broken Social Scene live set, from the springboard bounce-pop of first single "Hit the Wall" to the disco-driven "Love is New."

Singer/songwriter and guitarist Manuel Lopes Andradee, better known as Tcheka, is hailed for breathing new life into the music of his homeland Cape Verde, an island nation off the coast of West Africa. He is at the forefront of a cultural movement to transpose the percussive beats of batuque (rhythms traditionally played by women on Tcheka's home island of Santiago) to the strings of the guitar. Through memorable "narrative songs," Tcheka sings of life in Cape Verde—its people, landscape, and heritage—and reflects upon such universal themes as love, friendship, tragedy, hope, and joy.
Between Earth and Heaven will be the first large-scale museum exhibition devoted to this innovative, yet underappreciated, American architect. Over the course of a career spent largely in Los Angeles, John Lautner (1911–1994) captured the essence of Southern California in more than 150 distinctive structures. Trained by Frank Lloyd Wright, Lautner is best known for such private homes as the Elrod Residence in Palm Springs, featured in the James Bond movie Diamonds Are Forever, and Los Angeles’s iconic “Chemosphere.” Organized by the Hammer Museum, Between Earth and Heaven is curated jointly by Nicholas Olsberg, a cultural historian and expert on modern American architecture, and Frank Escher, an award-winning architect who helped establish the John Lautner Foundation. A three-venue international tour is planned. The 234-page Rizzoli exhibition catalogue will be the first comprehensive study of Lautner and his work and will include many previously unpublished photographs and drawings.

Boardner's is located at 1652 North Cherokee Ave ... a half block south of Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood ... a scenic spot that has been around since the 40s, can be seen such films as Ed Wood, Wag the Dog, LA Confidential, and Leaving Las Vegas, and -- really, I would not kid with you about this -- Guns N Roses trashed the bathroom once. (It' s like, history, you're soaking in it or something.)

Today is Le Fete National (Bastille Day) which just happens to fall on our scheduled Mad Mondays night. I have heard the French use this opportunity to ditch work and celebrate intensely throughout the day, so we are prepared for some additional ruckus to the already rad vibe of Mad Mondays. Posso the DJ is our special guest DJs, Free Siku Vodka, and sweet French Make-overs. Expect tons of frogs in full effect tonight swinging to our tunes, shouting obscenities in French, and plenty of 90's house music.... see you with bells on tonight!
