I saw BSS in 2010 at the same venue (the superb Pabst Theater), and it was so fantastic. I had vacation time at the end of the year, so I went to see them play two nights at the less superb Sound Academy in Toronto (I broke out in singles on that trip). Emily Haines sang Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl, but the real treat was seeing Feist and Kevin Drew sing Almost Crimes. I can still picture Kevin finishing his part, stepping aside, and Feist stepping forward and just... I don't have a good word for it that isn't totally cliche.

I enjoyed that so much that when they announced they were playing all of You Forgot It In People in Toronto at their label's festival (Field Trip) in 2013, I went. It isn't hyperbole to say the next day my face hurt from smiling so much.

I'm in this picture. White shirt, beard, bald, glasses, up and just a smidge left from the person in the front with a purple shirt. They all seem so wonderful.
