Broken Social Careening Around UK in Feb

Broken Social Scene announce full tour... note: London show moved to the 8th.

Are you ready to dance and sway to more clever Canadian pop? Well, seeing as a new album out Broken Social Scene (that we've raved about HERE) now in the US and in the UK via City Slang on 30 January 2006, they play these dates:

February
8 London Mean Fiddler
10 Belfast Speakeasy
11 Dublin Crawdaddy
13 Nottingham Rescue Rooms
14 Manchester Academy 3
15 Birmingham Academy 2
16 Leeds Faversham
17 Glasgow Art School
19 Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms

Some new (and different!) members comprise the current 9-piece touring band. For those who need to know and compile such facts, here is the line-up:
Kevin Drew - Vocals, Keyboard, Guitar
Brendan Canning - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Keyboard
Andrew Whiteman - Vocals, Guitar, Bass
Justin Peroff - Drums
Lisa Lobsinger - Vocals
Julie Penner - Violin
Johnny Crossingham - Drums, Guitar, Vocals, Percussion
Charles Spearin - Guitar, Trumpet
Ohad Bencherit - Guitar, Saxophone

Also, if you were hoping to wander along and catch them at The Barfly on November 29th or at Cargo with support from The Most Serene Republic (check them out here) on December 19th, bad luck the shows are sold out.

If you can't wait 'til January, you can legally download the album from galleryac.com

*salivate*

I am so so so so so so so going to see this band.

BASTARDS!!

No fucking Newcastle date!

I HATE FUCKING RETARDED BOOKING AGENTS, BASTARDS!!!!

I suppose i'll have to travel down to Leeds :-(

BASTARDS!!

what marco said ... cept i might not be able to travel :-(

If you really really

wanna go soapy, me and Steve (the big guy you met last time) will be travelling down. With three of us, the petrol will only be about £5 each.

woot!

got tickets for the birmingham date last week. roll on february!

roll on

cargo! haven't heard the most serene republic, are they hot sex?

hurray!

already got nottingham tickets.. would appreciate being directed to somewhere to get leeds ones too??

Better than Good

I think I already wrote a review on this show, eh? So I'll spare ya's the details and just encourage everybodies ta get ta going!

Lisa is the gal that sings Anthems, btw. Does she sing the song on the album (YFIIP), I wonder? Talk about good looking....whoa! Too bad ya won't get Leslie Feist; she belts out Almost Crimes with incredible intensity.

I guarantee this show will put a smile on yer face!

ticketweb.co.uk

has them i think.
i might end up going to leeds & nottingham too... if i have the money. cargo & birmingham is probably all i can afford, though.

no

emily haines sings Anthems on YFIIP. lisa was brought in because Emily and Amy (Milan), and Feist for that matter, have their own bands (Metric and Stars, respectively), and so can't tour with BSS all the time. That said, i doubt we'll know exactly which band members will appear until the tour actually starts..

Careening?

Their careen could be in ruins...
