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.

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.

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.

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!
