Broken Social Scene tours Oceania and Asia

In 2007, Broken Social Scene was all about (re)presenting. In 2008, the band will re-(re)present, and it will also encourage you to (re)read coffee table books. But it will also be doing something (re)fresh(ing): touring in two continents that have yet to be graced with the band’s presence.

Yes, the gregarious Canadian collective will be taking Oceania and Asia by storm in February and March. BSS will be docking at all of the St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival ports of call, with additional dates in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Singapore.
