Or do they? If one member of a sprawling musical collective tours with a few other members backing him, is it a band tour? What's in a name, my little Shakespeares? I guess we'll soon find out as Kevin Drew tours behind his solo/is it really a solo album, Spirit If... That record, reportedly the first in a series that will be fronted by BSS members, is slated for a September 18 release via Arts and Crafts. Meanwhile, the complete entity known as "Broken Social Scene" remains on that vaguest of band-related terms: "hiatus."
