It’s been a great week in late night music (see our last few posts), but by far the best of the lot was last night when Canada’s best performed on Late Night with Fallon Show.  Two of our all-time favorites, Broken Social Scene and Feist (an original member of BSS), took over the Fallon studio and simply slaughtered. BSS is taking an extended break from action, but to celebrate their label Arts & Crafts’ 10-year anniversary (and the release of the commemorative album entitled Arts & Crafts: X), they have reunited to perform at this weekend’s Field Trip Festival in Toronto.

We have written repeatedly about this entrancing entourage and their ebullient live shows before (including 2o11 at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass).  Now check them out on Fallon where they performed Almost Crimes from their epic You Forgot It In People album, followed by the web-exclusive of their classic 7/4 Shoreline from their 2005 eponymously-titled album. Check out Kevin Drew in standard fine form, a de rigeur leg-kick from Brendan “Can Can” Canning, the ferocious Feistian vocals, and the remainder of the lads driving the message home. This is a great band that we hope reunites permanently. Long live BSS!
