Broken Social Scene Expand Tour
Broken Social Scene seem pretty damn tight for such a loose-knit bunch, but they must be a little tired of the frequent farewells they have to give each other after every one-off and chance run-in. So, in the spirit of band unity and togetherness and all that mushy stuff, the Scene have thrown a whole new leg onto their previously reported tour, making it months before they'll have to say those farewells.
In addition to the previously reported string of dates around Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore, the band are headed to Taiwan, Mexico, Turkey, Luxembourg, Russia... and, um, your more standard rock show locales, like the UK, France, and the States.
As previously mentioned, they'll make appearances at the Explosions in the Sky-curated ATP Festival and Bonnaroo. I bet when these kids play a festival, they get two artist trailers.
And, while we're touching on Scene unity, know that Brendan Canning's solo LP-- bearing the Broken Social Scene Presents stamp-- will appear via Arts & Crafts May 27.
