UPDATE on the Dallas, TX - Broken Social Scene Cancellation

Here is a forum/comment post by jeffguytx on the front page of the Broken Social Scene website. It turns out that it was Kevin Drew that was sick and if you can't understand the cancellation under those conditions you need your head checked!

At the Austin show, they talked about rescheduling the Dallas show in 6-8 weeks or so. Kevin really was sick. It was hard for him to sing and he was visibly struggling. They still put on a good show and I just wanna say THANKS!

For those of you in Dallas who's anger got the better of you and took their cancellation as a slight... Kevin said that he tried to board the plane to make the Dallas show, but he was too sick and they wouldn't let him. He fought the law, and the law won. So all you Dallas people need to know that the love is there and they will make it up to you.

Naturally, they had a lot of great things to say about Austin. While Bass Concert Hall is not the funnest place for a rock concert, it's a beautiful venue and they said it seemed like one of the nicest and largest they've played. Way to go UT Student Committee Guys! Hopefully they'll be able to fit another Austin gig in right after the Dallas make-up show. Stubbs maybe?

They previewed Happiness Project and it's an incredible concept and I can't wait to see it come to fruition.

I don't have a setlist, sorry. I can tell you that he declined to play Superconnected cuz his voice was strained. They also didn't play Lucky Ones, which is sad cuz I'm addicted to that song. However, he did a beautiful Lover's Spit and a whole lot of other great BSS songs.

Anyway... Dallas... you'll get your show! They made that clear more than once.
