Broken Social Scene @ The Hook, Brooklyn 6/28/06
Only for Broken Social Scene would we go to Red Hook on a Wednesday night.
Okay, Broken Social Scene and an open bar.
The occasion was Tag Team Media's fifth birthday and the Toronto music collective came to celebrate.
It was a no Feist night, but "7/4 (Shoreline)" rocked just the same. Kevin, Brendan, John, Amy, Andrew, and whichever Scenesters I'm forgetting drew from their entire catalog -- "Cause=Time" and "Fire Eye'd Boy" were highlights -- and I could've sworn I caught the tail end of a Police cover. (I missed the beginning while catching up with Matt Ice Cream Man.)
Amy played "Skinny Boy" from her forthcoming solo debut Honey From The Tombs, and American Analog Set's Andrew Kenny made a surprise appearance at night's end.
BSS perform "Fire Eye'd Boy" on Letterman tonight, so set yr Tivos. Or check YouTube tomorrow.
The band returns to Brooklyn next Thursday for a benefit show at the Prospect Park Bandshell. Tickets availabe here.
If anyone's got an Arts & Crafts family tree, send our way!

I was lucky enough to attend. It was odd, the set list had KC Accidental and Almost Crimes on there! I thought the crowd was so typical of an open bar crowd though... i don't know if you turned around but the place kept clearing out. Only in NYC could a band that sells out three nights at Webster Hall at $40 a ticket but can't get silly PR people to let loose and rock out. They sounded fantastic though and I had a great time.
Score = 0
I thought it was a really fun show... though I was way up front (i think you were right in front of me for some of these pics) and didn't notice if it was a typical private party show crowd. i just wished the AmAnSet song they did had been "kindness of strangers." thanks, tag team!
Score = 0

How, how, HOW did I not know about this! I am still sad, even after finding out yesterday morning.
