Here's the latest word from the Camp BSS.
Do yourself a favor and see them live.
Then, do it again.
Rinse. Repeat.
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."
