DevO Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hi! This just came in from my friend Kate, who is living in Vienna. Its a good reveiw and I wanted to share with you all. I hope she doesn't mind! Broken Social Scene at Szene Wien, Vienna, Austria, Dec. 1, 2005 Although the band had played a couple UK dates, they decided that Vienna was the official kick-off show of their European tour.?This meant feeling real fresh and having a ton of energy (I gotta say that Vienna is just one of those cities that produces its own kind of energy and even the most travelled people can't help but feel it), willing to play lots of crowd pleasers from first two albums and supporting their new album as well (which I am cranking right now in my little apartment in Vienna and loving, I couldn't find it anywhere in Greece or Austria but picked it up last night).?Szene Wien reminded me of being downstairs at the Trash in Peterborough, bit bigger... Andrew Whiteman opened and did some Apostle of Hustle songs solo, including Energy of Death ya ya ya!?BSS played a wicked set and people around me were partying and loving it.?Different line-up as I'm sure it always is, two women who were on stage at Hillside (Stars and Metric ladies but I'm shit with names sorry) were absent but there was another women whose name I did not catch but she was awesome and had a very cool kind of eerie stage presence.?John Crossingham played guitar for a bit and was on the 2nd set of drums, haven't seen him since Raising the Fawn shows in Hamilton which was very cool, I always liked him.?Dudes from Do!Make!Say!Think! and Apostle of Hustle were also introduced.?Anyways, music was so so great and energy was absoloutley positive and kickin'.?About four dudes jammed with one other random that showed up at the end of the night for a good hour after the show, wandering through the diminishing crowd playing trumpet, which reminds that the wicked horns were a highlight of the show for me.?Also don't know the name of the girl who plays the violin but she rocked and can totally sing as well.?Don't you just wanna be in a really awesome band with all your friends...?
