I'll be at the Sonar show tomorrow night, I can't wait! Who else is checkin' them out this time around?
-
i'll be there as well.
-
i'll be at the 930 show on tuesday. it's a rock'n'roll week for me, 3 bands in 3 days (DCFC, BSS, Primus) - woohoo.
<self-plug> i've still have box tickets for the tuesday DCFC show, now available below cost... </plug>
-
I'll be at the Tuesday show at the 930.
Amy Millan will NOT be at either the Sonar or 930 show. Amy's last show with BSS was in Alabama. Looks like we are getting Lisa Lobsinger as the female vocalist.
-
does haines tour with them anymore?
-
Haines is getting ready to tour behind her solo album which came out about a month ago. Amy is rehearsing for her own solo tour which starts in just over a week. So we're stuck with Lobsinger, who is about as interesting to watch as mold.
Regardless, I'll be at Sonar and 9:30.
-
Any chance of feist being there?
-
saw the vid from the houston show and it didn't look like she was.
last time they played @ 9:30 she opened with her solo stuff.
-
Feist's busy recording her next album.
I'm optimistic about Lisa. I've been pretty hard on her in the past, but I'm hopeful it won't be so bad. People who've seen them since Amy left have been giving positive reviews, while the early reviews weren't too good. So hopefully Lisa won't be TOO bad.
Emily/Metric are busy in Europe at the moment.
-
Just got back from Sonar...amazing show. The band was spot-on the entire set. And they played for two hours! I really wish I was going to the 9:30 show as well.
-
Saw the show last night at Sonar. The band was in good shape, though Lisa Lobsinger can't sing her way out of a paper bag and has all the stage presence of roadkill. She ruined virtually every song she took the lead on, which thankfully wasn't too often. I think it was pretty obvious that there isn't alot of faith in her talents. Kevin Drew sang all of Amy's parts during Bandwitch while Lobsinger stood around counting ceiling tiles. She must be blowing the entire band. I can't understand why she's on stage. Just club her like a fucking baby seal.
We got a sped up version of It's All Gonna Break ("only" 11 mins long). All the songs that you'd expect, plus Jason Collett leading the band in "I'll Bring The Sun" from his solo release.
Apart from the lack of (good) female vocals, it was a great show. Enjoy them while you can.
-
Oh god, a Collett song! I hope they do it tonight, as I'll be missing him with Sam Roberts.
That said, I'll be at 9:30 tonight. HOPEFULLY early enough to get a good spot. (Damn being short.)
-
How many trumpet players were there last nite??
-
I'll be there tonight. Their last 9:30 show was amazing. I think they played for almost 2.5 hours. So a warning to those taking the metro: you might have to skip out of the show early.

this sounds like it could be a set up for a good, maybe dirty, joke.
doesn't anyone get pissed at BSS and some of these other canadian collective bands that get popular based on a certain lineup, then everyone farms out and starts doing their own thing but the band keeps touring, jacking up the ticket prices, but without all of the key members? seems lame to me. also, i think BSS are just terrible, so maybe it's just me. but i'm pretty sure rhett and i are the only ones that feel that way on here.
-
you can add me to the list.... i found them unbearable at the Belle & Sebstain show this summer. totally agree with the one reviewer who called them a "dreadful jam band". to me it sounds like it's a case of my girlfriend's brother's dog walker also plays french horn he should be in the band also...
-
i thought the show was good. but not great.
yeah, perhaps with all of their parts, but it seems like the band has run their course, save a few "reunion" shows down the road.

if that was your only exposure to BSS then you owe yourself another look ... that was a pretty sub-par show all around
-
Agreed that the female vocalist wasn't great last night, but she wasn't awful. I definitely would have preferred to see Amy, Feist, or Emily. Amy's performance at Merriweather was just amazing. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show.
-
I was at Sonar last night and overall, I was very impressed. The set list was fantastic..if someone has it, that would be nice to see posted. I was extremly impressed by Kevin Drew, and I did not think Lisa Lobsinger was half bad. Very entertaining show, can't wait till they come around again!
-
Lobsinger can go screw.
-
I went to the Sonar show last night. It was a good show. I love BSS. Their music is so honest and engaging.
Lisa Lobsinger the new female vocalist is dreadful. I really wanted her to carry on the legacy left by Feist, Amy and Emily Haines. She fell short of my expectations. I am not a hater, but my honest feedback is she has very little stage pressence. Kevin clearly does not trust her, as he sings most of her parts.
The violin player is great. Can she sing?
I hope the sound is better at the 930 club than it was last night at Sonar. I gave up my Death Cab tix to see them last night at Sonar, and I am seeing them again tonight at the 930. I am obsessed.

That would be Julie Penner. She doesn't usually sing.
I'll be there tonite and in Ann Arbor for the final show of the tour. *sniff*
-
I don't have very high expectations tonight. The first time I've seen them will probably be the best:
Broken Social Scene / Stars
November 20, 2003
Great American Music Hall
San Francisco
*sigh*

Fantastic show by both bands. Do Make Say Think were just fucking unbelievable. Their one hour performance was worth the price of admission alone.
BSS were amazing as always, though they played some filler near the end...but redeemed themselves with the last two songs, "It's All Gonna Break" and "KC Accidental". Lisa Lobsinger did a commendable job. No complaints from her...I actually think Feist is too bubbly and hyper, and Amy's not too great to look at. So Lisa Lobsinger = SEXXYTIME, HI-FIVE!
Lots of highlights but definitely one of the best BSS gigs in my book. The worst will still be the Merriweather gig this past summer.

Wait, I didn't think he was going to be with them this time around. Damn. That's one of my favorite songs by him, too. I so should have gone to the Sonar show. :(
-
Still wish they played lover's spit.
They may have at the 930 show, but I had to leave early cause I took the metro in.
-
They also played Dino Jr's "The Wagon," prettay..prettay..prettay..prettay..good.
I'm pretty sure Lover's Spit was the first song they played.
-
"Lover's Spit" was the first song and a really good pick to start it off. I agree that Do Make Say Think were a great opener--the club was rumbling with the amount of sound they were pushing out. Longest show I've ever seen at 9:30, with some stellar moments--the "It's All Gonna Break" and "KC Accidental" finale and the amped-up version of "Major Label Debut" (now with four electric guitars!) made the night. Broken Social Scene was like the Boston of the "indie" scene, and I love them for it.
-
Once again, amazing show by Broken Social Scene (not as good as last October's show), but still very good nonetheless.
Lover's Spit was the opener to who ever asked about that, the Dino Jr. cover was pretty sick (amazing how much he sounded like Mascis), and to whoever was complainging about the new chica singer Lisa, I thought she was great.
All Feist did last year was run around the stage, play some air guitar, and pump her fist.
Also, the polka dot dress was HOT!
-
Now I love BSS, but that show was a let down because of the sound quality and female singer. DO MAKE SAY THINK were MAD sloppy, I actually left and went to the lounge for a bit, It sounded like they were all chasing to keep up with each other. hmmm...
-
You all do realize BSS teamed up with J. Mascis to do a charity concert called Broken Mascis Scene which was all J. Mascis/Dino Jr. covers right? That's why they know The Wagon. Amazing bootle, btw.

Yeah. I downloaded the entire show a while back, but haven't gotten around to listening to it yet. Great setlist.
And BSS were great last night. 2.5 hours again. I feel sorry for anyone that took the metro and had to leave early. Lisa was not as bad as I had expected. The only song I thought she was terrible on was "Almost Crimes." Their Lolla performance this year was still the best I've ever seen em.
-
Shit. I got there in the middle of Fire Eyed Boy.
-
I thought they did a great job last night. What time did it finally end though? I left around 12:30 so I don't think I missed too much.
-
You must have missed, like, three seconds. I think my watch was at exactly 12:30 when they finished. "KC Accidental" was the closer, so if you heard any of that, you basically heard it all.
-
I thought it was a great show, definitely MILES better than Merriweather. Lisa wasn't as bad as I expected her to be, although it was difficult to hear her at times. She let me sing into the mic a bit for Almost Crimes, so of course I liked her even more after that. Nice long set, although I think it was closer to 2 hours than 2.5, as they went on late (around 10:20).
-
does anyone know the name of the last song do make say think played? it was awesome
