Hey everyone,

I'm flying from Mexico City to Chicago for Friday's show. I'm wondering if I need to queue before Doors in order to get places up front, or if people at this type of venue are more chill about times and barriers that kinda thing. I love all three bands but I'm specially coming for BSS.

What's it been like at other shows on this tour? Looking at videos from the Greek in LA it seems pretty chill.

Also, of anyone wants to meet up before or after, I'm game.

Love your love.

Hey y’all…. Unfortunately I’m in a financial bind, and I’m hoping to sell my two tickets for the BSS / Metric / Stars show at the Aragon this Friday 7/24. I was fired from my job and it’s almost the end of the month 🙃. I’d transfer the ticket to you via Ticketmaster. Let me know. Thanks lol 🤦‍♀️

$155

I decided to go home that weekend instead. Ticketmaster transfer. Venmo or PayPal.

I have 3 tickets to the Aug 1st show at the anthem. Paid $75 each but willing to sell for $50 each OBO. Make me an offer! Can transfer tickets through Ticketmaster.

Looking to sell 4 tickets for the show in Chicago on 7/24.

Turns out my sons have a cross country meet that night, so I’m going to have to miss this one.

Let’s make a deal!!

I’m a lifer Metric fan. I used to listen to BSS and Stars in 2005, but my heart stayed with Metric.

I went to see the Edmonton show and even with the loss of BSS’s drummer, I loved their performance. There were a few kinks, but Kevin did a great job making us laugh and feeling GOOD.

Ever since then, I went back to explore their music. I’ll admit, some aren’t my vibe, but SO many other songs make up for it. Hug of Thunder is my favourite. I wish I would have heard it back in 2017.

Anyways, I’m glad I got to see them perform and I’m happy to do more and more listening.

Broken Social Scene was headlining the Halifax Jazz Festival on Saturday July 11th and this was just sent to ticket holders this morning.

Looks like they are now canceling some shows due to their drummer’s injury.

Gonna go to the show in asheville instead :) selling at cost

Some news from Calgary. BSS just completed their Calgary set and it was...interesting and very different from what I expected with one very pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, they announced drummer Justin Peroff sustained significant injuries in an accident in Vancouver on Friday and he won't be touring with them - that's all they announced. There was no official backup drummer though someone came in and did a little drumming on a couple of songs. It was obvious the substitute was just trying to supply some rhythm to help..and it did, but that's all it was. The biggest concern is obviously the health and wellbeing of Justin.

The Good: I think it's clear the news he wouldn't be with them was very, very new - they were improvising on the spot and the set list was very, very different. It was interesting and fun to watch them improvise on the fly. We also got to hear an incredible and emotional version of Lover's Spit which Kevin doesn't perform anymore after the death of his Mom (what he told the audience).  There was some improvised guitar that was new and amazing. It was the highlight of the night. Worth the price of admission for my wife and I.

The Bad: Due to the unexpected news of their friend and bandmate, the energy was totally lacking. Big points for pushing through and I think they deserve all the credit in the world for getting up on stage, but the guitarists all stayed sitting the entire show and without drums the setlist drastically changed with an emphasis towards lower-energy songs. NOT on this setlist: Cause = Time, 7/4 Shoreline, Texaco Bitches, Fire Eye'd Boy.  They also tried an experiment with everyone's phones that didn't work - there was no signal with 8,000 people all trying to access the internet. It seemed like it would have been awesome. Hope it works better in another city. 

Calgary Setlist:

1. Charlie Opener (QR code crowd phone experience)
2. Sweetest Kill
3. Hey Amanda
4. Can't Find My Heart
5. Almost Crimes
6. Hug of Thunder
7. World Sick
8. Only the Good I Keep
9. Lover's Spit
10. Anthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl
11. Parking Lot Dreams

Otherwise, I'd say the fact that 80% of the crowd was there for Metric and not BSS was a real buzzkill. I've never seen so few people "into it" at a BSS concert. They went nuts for Metric though. I wonder if all the Canada dates are like this, or just Calgary?

Hoping the best for Justin, and hoping they get a session drummer in fast to help with the rest of the tour- it's clear they are trying their best to sort things out right now. Still worth it - but for the next few dates, I think there is going to be some experimenting and problem-solving.

Hallo - anyone have tickets to the Friday night show at Brooklyn Paramount and want to swap ‘em for Thur night? I have a pair.

Does anyone remember or have a photo of the setlist from tonight’s show in Bend?

I really appreciate the band still showing up even with their heartbreak tonight. It was a really moving show.

They just released this vid. Looks like the start of live rehearsal sessions. The Good I Keep! Beautiful stuff.

$150 OBO for two tickets and parking pass

Chateau Ste Michelle winery @6pm on 6/25

I was at the show at the Greek theater last week!
It was so great and this is the first time I’ve seen this singer playing with them.
I found her interpretation of shoreline amazing.
Who knows her? What’s her name?
Thanks!

Just saw these guys in SF at the Masonic. 60 minutes is not enough. We need a tour fronted by BSS. They sounded amazing. Masonic is an amazing venue. Cocktails at the Big 4 next door were wonderful. It’s all gonna break!
