Broken Social Scene Ready For Extended Break

When their touring finishes...

Share

Broken Social Scene are set to take an extended break once their touring commitments are over this autumn.

The sprawling collective have been frantically touring over the past few years and admit that they’ve lost sight of the basics of being a band.

Band member Kevin Drew told Billboard:  "We've become that band that doesn't really rehearse anymore.

"We just get together and go tour and play live. We've lost a bit of that thing we had at the beginning where we tried to challenge each other a lot more."

He continued: The last few years have been hard. Things kept getting bigger and changing. But we've had an incredible, incredible, incredible run. It's something that can't be taken for granted.

“If we kept going, we'd be taking it for granted. Next time, we'd be doing college tours for money. That sucks the music out of you. Next thing you know, you're trying to get teenagers to buy your albums."
