Are there any other fans of them out there??

[Spiral]

Yes me!! I haven't heard much by them yet but what I've heard was just aaaawesome! :D

[Mathieu]

Awesome!!

What have you heard by them so far???

This is a band I highly recommend to EVERYONE.. The best band out of Canada and one of the best bands around right now! In my opinion of course :)

[Spiral]

I've heard some songs from the album "You Forget It in People" which I really really like! :D If I had money I would buy it but I am poor! :'(

I didn't know they are from Canada! =O Have you ever seen them live?

[cracked lcd]

i saw them at Coachella and was pleasantly surprised. they were very good.

I'm jealous, Coachella looked so awesome this year :D

[jayco311]

BSS are awesome. They are one of the best bands around. You forgot it in people is an awesome album. Probably the best album of last year.

[Mathieu]

Agreed! It definitely is awesome :D

[Matchoo]

Figured I'd bump this thread because the band rocks so much :D

[christoph]

They are amazing. The new album is just fantastic, I think I like it better than the others.

:)

[brainbored]

They're cool, i have both their first and second album. My mate was getting me to get the album a year or two ago. They are splendid.

I thought i had already made a thread about this band though.

[Kazuya vs Ummagumma]

I love the song Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl to bits.

[christoph]

Ok, so has anyone got tickets for the London Barfly show they want to sell? I need 2, went to buy some just now and it looks like they've sold out!

Please say someone knows someone with tickets and are willing to sell? Ebay has nothing yet.

[BlackoutMatt]

BSS are easily the best band around right now...

I can't wait for next February, I'm seeing them in Manchester!

I also just found out that one of my friends in college likes them!

[ducksquackmuse]

I love the song Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl to bits.

Downloaded it and loving it

[Decades]

I'd love to see them in February but I, well, can't...

[Wowee Zowee]

[Black Velvet]

[expanding_universe]

I downloaded three songs yesterday and loved them all. :happy:

[christoph]

Jesus, i'm winning a bid on eBay for tickets. £51 for 2! They were originally selling at £8. I really want to see them tho.

Probably! They're doing a '06 tour in Britain aswell, but in big venues. Really want to see them in a venue like Barfly.

Yush, they're touring here end of Feb/beginning of March.

Uhhhm, you could get a fake ID? I've been to an over 18's only gig (when I was 17) and I got in fine, they didn't even bother asking. Altho do be careful, a few of my friends went to see Fall Out Boy last year sometime, and couldn't get in. Had to sit outside in the cold.

Hmm, twice last week some direct marketers thought I was over 21. So I guess its not that I dont look old enough. Just that, the only fake I.D I can get is from the EU, so I could pretend to be a French tourist (I speak a little bit, can do an accent :LOL: ). Dont know if they'll accept it at the venue though. :(

I shouldve got a fake I.D before Wolfmother. And I should get one before The Mars Volta. Damn being 17 with this taste in music.

[BlackoutMatt]

I've been to a few over-18 gigs with no problem...

I'm 18 in March next year.

[christoph]

Fuck, outbid again. I put it upto £60, still being outbid.

:(

[christoph]

£62!

Yes! It's a lot of money, but I checked my balance the other day and there was another £50 in there that I didn't know I had, so I thought why not. Treat myself :D

[Wowee Zowee]

does anyone hear some influence by Sonic Youth in some songs?...or is it just me :unsure:

[christoph]

Oh my, what an amazing live band. Truly a memorable show. They even gave some money to us fans because we had paid so much to see them, even kisses! Played so many songs, and were so good and full of energy.

Definately going to go see them play in Feb '06.

[Wowee Zowee]

so many gigs I want to go to in February, so little money.

[Wowee Zowee]

Oh well, still It's All Gonna Break is so damn good.

[she_had_a_username]

I really like what I've heard :happy:

I was going to pick up the new album in HMV today and then realised I didn't have enough cash on me, damnit. I'll be sure to grab it soon.

[Fux]

I can't wait to see them later this month. woooooweeeeee
I'm hoping Feist will be part of the Aus tour because 7/4 Shoreline isn't 7/4 Shoreline without Feist. :happy:

Great Escape, easter long weekend. (after my birthday!)
That's the only upside of this festival, even though I might not be able to go, I can still go to whichever sideshows I like. :happy:

[Fux]

Ooh Sigur Rós are going that festival aren't they?

I really want Leslie to do sideshows down here! I missed out last September because I didn't even know she was touring then. :$ Also, the fact that she is doing Great Escape (in April?) causes me to believe that she won't be doing the BSS shows in February/March. :(

Yup, going to the Sigur Ros show, I also want to see the Black Keys and Feist. :happy:

Agh.. I would say so also. Hence her being as close to BSS as I can get.

[Fux]

Sigur Rós will be splendid, I'm sure. Jesschikka saw them last time 'round.

I want to see both, dangit! Stupid schedules. :rolleyes:

[expanding_universe]

I finally bought this freakin' album! I honestly couldnt find the limited edition one anywhere in the CBD so I bought the standard edition just because I wanted to listen to it so much. And on the way home I thought to myself, 'this album better be the most amazing album I've heard this year..'

And it is. :happy:

[Wowee Zowee]

saw it for 9.99 the special edition in HMV.

[Fux]

I thinking of seeing them at the laneway festival (the Melbourne one, of course). Sunday night. Hmmm..so here's hoping that I'm not completely broke by Friday..

I can't go to gigs alone. pretty stupid, you'd think but I can't.

Agh, have fun on Tuesday. And Wednesday if you end up getting tickets. Biznatch. :(

[she_had_a_username]

I finally got the new album the other day, the limited edition one in Virgin for £9.99. It's quite wonderful :happy:

I forget that I have Set Yourself On Fire...probably collecting dust somewhere, come to think of it. :$

Soz bro, I know it's killing you inside. :( But y'know you'll be able to go to any gig you want in about a month!

[Fux]

Didn't go to Wednesday's BBS show. :( (I was going to buy tickets on the night but I had to scrap the whole plan for another event....I'm incredibly cut/pissed/guilty about it, to be honest. gah)

but fuck, I do love BBS a whole lot more after their gig on Tuesday. Very impressive. Hotel is the sexiest song ever..I love Kevin Drew's voice. He had food poisoning but you would've not noticed. They played Looks Just Like The Sun aswell...one of my favourite BBS tracks. yeaah
Two hour show, set ended with It's All Gonna Break..

Took a few photos from my phone

Not the best perspective of the band from my side of the stage but I had a good view of Andrew Whiteman, who's quite the showpony and rightly so...a quality guitarist, I think.

Well, I'll end it here. Can't be stuffed doing a 'proper review'.
Let's just say BBS make a pretty good night. :happy:

You've made a really good decision there. Also, get You Forgot It In People if you like them even more, and want something else. If the S/T version is the Special Edition version, it'll come with an extra EP with 7 songs. So that's 21 songs with just one album!

Happy listening.

it's actually the touring of Kevin Drew's solo album, not been made very clear. still going, the album is mint

Just got back from the Manchester gig, t'was brilliant. They played enough old BSS stuff that it was good. I wish I'd had the chance to listen to Spirit If first though.

so basically Feist is coming to Sydney next March and bringing her boy with her! this totally makes up for last time BSS came here and did an over 18's show 3 weeks before my 18th birthday. :D

[Future Days]

Great band, awful name. I was put off them for a long time because the name made me think of a shitty emo band.

[winno]

Man do I love BSS.

They came to Australia last year sometime, except it was 18+ :(
Was shattered!

[Wendigo]

I've tried to get into them, I can't. They have a couple of songs I enjoy but for the most part I'm not into them.

yeah. was shattered too. but they're back. woop woop

[Kylee]

Bump!

Yeah, same exact feelings here. I finally listened to them and was very surprised. They're very good, was not expecting the mellow folk post-punk indie thing. You Forgot It In People is great.

Broken Social Scene are supporting Pavement on the 13th of May next year. I'm so glad I chose to get a ticket for that date. <3

[Ghosty Ghost]

That's pretty cool! We have the 3Ds for the Pavement gig I'm going to, who are also recently reformed. I'm at least as excited about seeing them as I would be to see BSS.

On topic: Lover's Spit is awesome.

[Miran-duh]

i'm playing you forgot it in people for the first time in at least a year i'd say.

still awesome :happy:


should probably see if they have anything newer than the self titled album :LOL:

[Wowee Zowee]

New song is really impressive.

[pubicmage]

Agreeed, the drums in particular sound great.

[Wowee Zowee]

Can't stop listening to it, hoping the rest of the album is as epic.

[lindavondoll]

Is anyone going to hte show this tuesday?
