Video Premiere: Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew: "Backed Out on the..."

Underground rock party tonight! Pitchfork is very happy to be able to present to you this exclusive premiere of Kevin Drew's new video "Backed Out on the...", the first single from his forthcoming album, Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew, "Spirit If..." The song is a tremendously fun Stonesy rocker and the video is brimming with guest stars. Actually, as far as that goes, Kevin himself would like to tell the story:

"This song was recorded with Joules Scott Key of Metric and Bang Lime on drums and J Mascis and Kevin Drew on guitar and vocals. The video happened last minute after a Dinosaur Jr show in Toronto where J, Lou, and Murph all came to the shoot to hang out. John Caffery from 'Kids on TV' was hired to come and dance his ASS off and a spontaneous party was put into effect.
There were seven mirrors, one disco ball, four lights, one bottle of rum, three bottles of tequila, 62 beers, four crew, and 17 people. It got put together on the day of the shoot and became the party of the year.
It cost three thousand dollars to make...
It was priceless."

We have nothing more to add. Enjoy.

 
[From Broken Social Scene Presents: Kevin Drew, "Spirit If.."; due 09/18/07 from Arts & Crafts]
