I was lucky enough to have a ticket to the sold out Jason Collett and Feist show at the High Noon Saloon last night. The night was all the better because I got to hang out with the great Goose from Veritas Lux Mea. You can check out his review, with much better pictures right here.
Nothing beats a great bill of artists and a packed venue. It was nice to see such a great turn out. I took a few pictures that I’ve posted below. One of my favorite parts of the evening was when Feist took the stage during Jason Collett’s set for a fantastic performance of “Hangover Days” off of Jason Collett’s new album Idols of Exile, which I am listening to right now, and I think it’s fantastic.
Jason and Feist later collaborated on the Broken Social Scene song Major Label Debut, which is about the closest thing to actually seeing Broken Social Scene since they’ve never played here. I’m hopefull the crowd last night will get that changed. I was informed that Broken Social Scene will be playing Conan O’Brien on Tuesday, the 31st. According to Jason they are planning on playing 7/4 (Shoreline). So make sure to set your VCR, Tivo, or just tune in.
Follow this link to see if the tour will be making a stop near you. I would highly recommend checking them out on this tour, both bands are a lot of fun live.
Jason Collett w/Emily Haines- Hangover Days (MP3)
You can purchase albums by Jason Collett and Feist from the Arts & Crafts website.
UPDATE (1/30/05) - Just Make It Nice and Neat has a couple of MP3’s from the show!
BONUS:
I was able to talk with some of the guys from Jason Collett’s band, and they hooked me up with their new album. They are called Paso Mino, and I’m happy to provide an MP3 of my favorite track at the moment. Checking out their website, I couldn’t help but laugh when I read that, “The title of recording is Good People and some of the song ideas are: brothers, beer, factories, mothers, lovers and auto’s.” Yep, that sums up the album pretty well. That should get you interested enough to download the track below.

Correction: I thought BSS was Tuesday night on Conan. Friday night = Rick Moranis…(the agoraphobic cowboy)

they were great last night in Minneapolis as well
they didn’t do Shoreline though, they did Major Label Debut.
i enjoyed Jason’s set a bit as well. he reminded me of Josh Rouse a bit vocally, which i hadn’t really noticed too much from his records. i really wanted to hear Tiny Ocean of Tears, ah well
that was prolly the best of the 3 times i’ve seen Leslie in the last 6 months, way better than her opening set for BSS that’s for sure.

Glad to hear the show in MN was good. Now that I think about it I think they played Major Label Debut here as well, but I really thought it was 7/4. Any Madison readers care to confirm for me?

I’m not enough of a BSS fan to say what it was, but I’m sure it wasn’t 7/4.

Thanks Aaron, I think it was Major Label Debut here as well.

Just want to say I enjoy your blog. I attended UW until last spring and your write ups remind me of good times in Madison. Going to envy your Andrew Bird shows.

Just to let you know Hangover Days is with Metric’s Emily Haines. Glad you had fun; I wish I could’ve seen them when they came to Vancouver back in October.
