Broken Social Scene - Looks Just Like The Sun

Toronto stalwarts, Broken Social Scene returned to Hamilton to play Supercrawl [setlist] this past Friday Sept 8. It's been over a decade since I saw them live and the last time was also at Supercrawl in 2011 when the band was embarking on a hiatus from playing live, at least locally. While the band returned to active duty in 2013 that coincided with my departure from blogging and my sort of disconnect with music over all. I set aside, even listening to music, to focus on other life priorities. But being over a decader older, and wiser, and with a few life goals achieved, I'm reconnecting to music again, even if it's sometimes nostalgic. I have no effort to review the show, but would like to add a few comments - BSS are as musically tight and proficient as ever (my God, Andrew Whitemen's guitar-picked tones on "Meet Me in The Basement" are glorious); the addition of Kevin Drew's song "Out In The Fields" (from his upcoming new solo effort "Aging" in tribute to the passing of Kevin's mother was nice, with vocals being performed by Dwayne Gretzky vocalists Jill Harris [a current BSS member] and I believe Tyler Kyte. Broken Social Scene live shows were meant for end-of-summer celebrations and when Andrew Whiteman took a turn on vocals for their song "Looks Just Like The Sun", it was dream-like brilliance.
