U.FProductions Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Broken Social Scene with Stars Jan 21 and 22 @ The marquee Club (Halifax, NS) Arts&Crafts recording artists Broken Social Scene and Stars have just confirmed their return to Halifax - January 21st and 22nd, 2005 Broken Social Scene was born in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It began in 1999 with two newfound friends, Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, and their first album FEEL GOOD LOST. By the time their guitar-fuelled sophomore effort, You Forgot It in People, was released in fall 2002, Broken Social Scene had become an 11-piece collective with a bombastic, orchestrated sound which fans and critics loved. You Forgot It In People was a buzz among indie cohorts and tours around the globe ensued. The band operates as a friendly collective of as few as seven or as many as fifteen people -- including core members Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning plus Leslie Feist, Jason Collett, Andrew Whiteman, Charles Spearin, Justin Peroff, Amy Millan, Evan Cranley and most of them have other projects running simultaneously. During their first trip to the east coast for the Halifax Pop Explosion in 2003, Broken Social Scene sold-out the Marquee Club, and at that time were new to the ears of most Haligonians, shortly after the band took home the Juno for Best Alternative Album. The Toronto-based rock outfit is in the home stretch of work on its Third record, due in 2005. Broken Social Scene is currently in the midst of its most extensive European tour to date, which began Nov. 16 in Madrid and wraps Dec. 10 in Brussels. Once back from Europe, BSS will head straight to New York to open a Dec. 14 Show for the Pixies at Hammerstein Ballroom and play two sold-out headline shows at the Bowery Ballroom. Playing both shows with Broken Social Scene is co-conspirators and Arts&Craft Labelmates "Stars". Canada's highly acclaimed boy-meets-girl new romantic pop group Stars have just released their third and most impassioned album to date. Following up their Juno Nominated sophmore album "Heart", "Set Yourself On Fire" sees Stars take a leap forward while not straying too far from their soft revolutionary home. First single "Ageless Beauty" has help their Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, Phoenix) mixed album maintain the #1 position at College radio for the past three weeks while it's video can be seen regularly on MuchMusic. UF Productions will release a limited number of advanced weekend passes. These Will be made available before Christmas. more info soon!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Nice additions of In Flight Safety and Wintersleep, I'm hoping to make the Saturday night show. Any chance of getting advanced tickets outside of Halifax or even online perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Can I just say: Wow. The Stars played Ottawa last night to a sold out crowd, and left an indelible mark. If you are anywhere near this show please make it out and support both of these bands. you'll probably leave with a renewed feeling about music and what it can do to you.

dave-O Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 I've still never managed to catch The Stars, but I have a friend in TO who swears they're his favourite of the BSS family of bands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry jr. Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Damn it all to hell! I am having serious remorse about not seeing this last night. I just discovered the Stars this past year and I think I listened to "Heart" more than any other album the last bunch of months. Definitely one of my faves. Glad to hear they had a good turnout though...much deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Alright how'd I do: I'd say the lineup will be Whiteman, Collette, Drew, Canning, Millan, Cranley, Spearing. Sort of bone-headed leaving Peroff out though (one of Andrew Barr's favourite drummers incidentally). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave-O Posted January 13, 2005 Report Share Posted January 13, 2005 Doesn't look like I'm going to make it Meg. Christina is going shopping for a wedding dress in Halifax this weekend, so I doubt we'll make the trip two weeks in a row. Enjoy the show!
