However, these items will not guarantee entry as space set aside for them is limited. Broken Social Scene Bio Broken Social Scene materialized in 1999 when K.C. Accidentals Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, formerly of By Divine Right, bonded their friendship into a band. They spent the next few years honing an atmospheric rock sound in their native Toronto and the dynamic was great. Feel Good Lost marked their debut album in 2001 and introduced a revolving cast of Canadian indie musicians. Drew's fellow mate from Do Make Say Think, Charles Spearin, was added to the band, as well as Evan Cranley (Stars), James Shaw, and Emily Haines (Metric). By the time their guitar-fueled sophomore effort, You Forgot It in People, was released in fall 2002, Broken Social Scene had become an 11-piece collective. Jason Collett, Andrew Whiteman, Justin Peroff and Leslie Feist fulfilled the band's bombastic, orchestrated sound and critics loved it. You Forgot It In People was a buzz among indie cohorts and plans for a stateside release on Arts & Crafts was slated for the following summer. A surprise, however, coincided those plans in spring 2003 when Broken Social Scene won a Juno for "Alternative Album of the Year" for You Forgot It In People. In order to maintain praise from critics, the band issued their first ever b-siders & rarities collection, Bee Hives, in spring 2004. For the band's 2005 self-titled studio album, Broken Social Scene once again joined producer David Newfeld. Additional contributions by select members of Stars, Metric, Do Make Say Think, Raising theFawn, the Dears and others contributed to the ambitious sounds of Broken Social Scene. A joint North American tour with Feist followed its release. Bedouin Soundclash Named after Israeli fusion artist/producer Badawi’s 1996 release – which pays homage to nomadic Arabic poet tribe the Bedouins – power trio Bedouin Soundclash formed in 2001 at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Unlike most musicians who try to mimic their musical idols, Bedouin Soundclash likes to forge its own musical path creating music that embodies each member’s personal and diverse musical preferences. With a seductive combination of lead singer Jay Malinowski’s soulful, melodic wail and hypnotic rhythmic guitar grooves, Eon Sinclair’s deep dubbing bass, and Pat Pengelly’s driving heavyweight rhythms, Bedouin Soundclash creates its own innovative fusion of Reggae, Rock, Punk and Soul – taking chances and pushing hard at the boundaries that separate musical genres – resulting in a fusion of music the band can truly call its own. Settling in Montreal in 2004, Bedouin Soundclash began work on its sophomore album Sounding A Mosaic. Produced by Punk-Reggae legendary bass player Daryl Jenifer of Bad Brains, Sounding A Mosaic brought Bedouin Soundclash to the forefront of the Canadian music scene, a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
