Broken Social Scene Coming Back To First Avenue!

Who knows how many people from this picture are actually going to be there for this show, it doesn't matter. Broken Social Scene are coming back to Minneapolis, playing First Avenue on October 13th with Land Of Talk. I've been waiting for them to come back here since their epic Halloween performance at the Ave three years ago (with Feist opening.) I believe they had as many as 14 people on stage during that show, so hopefully there will be plenty of room for the 'Scene, and the place will be packed again for what should be a fantastic evening. Not only will they be revisiting tracks from their excellent back catalogue, but they surely will be playing songs from the recent 'Broken Social Scene Presents...' albums from both Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, which are equally exceptional. I can't wait for this one.
