JUST ANNOUNCED
This has been a very exciting week for show announcements as Belle and Sebastian , Lyle Lovett and Peter Frampton announced visits to our own Massey Hall.
It’s been a while since we saw the fine folks that make up Belle and Sebastian – they last played Toronto in 2006 at the Sound Academy and before that it was 2003 at Massey Hall and now, come October 12 they return to what Chrome Waves calls “the only room where they belong.” Until they arrive in said room this October, we’ll be spending A Summer Wasting or waiting, rather, for the album that is predicted to be dropping in the not too distant future.
It is always a delight to welcome back Lyle Lovett to Toronto and this occasion is no different. On August 10, Mr. Lovett takes the stage at Massey Hall with his Large Band. Take in some classic Lyle Lovett with a few of his videos here.
Remember Homerpallooza? Well according to BBC, it’s one of the most memorable episodes of the Simpsons and I tend to agree. That’s no doubt in large part to the stellar line-up on the festival bill including Peter Frampton, who performs at Massey Hall this summer on July 22.
Great news this past week, Collective Concerts announced that Scottish outfit, Belle and Sebastian will bring what looks to be their only Canadian date this fall, to our very own Massey Hall. Needless to say, we’re looking forward to this one.
Though I’m tempted to feature some of my favourite B&S songs in this weeks Listening Booth (check out “Stars of Track and Field” for starters…) the announcement reminded me of one of their relatives. Isobel Campbell, who was a longtime member of the Glasgow-based Belle and Sebastian, and part of some of their finest and most popular work.
The collaborative effort of Campbell and Mark Lanegan from a few years ago brought us the album Ballad of the Broken Seas and the first track, Deus Ibi Est. Its one of those songs that gets its claws into you. It’s a moving track that seduces you and creeps by slowly verse-by-verse…
