Do Make Say Think announces extensive tour dates

They're playing everywhere BUT my Uncle Mitch's favorite corner pub, for crying out loud. Except Providence. Go figure. Where's the love? I'll have to make my way up to Cambridge, alas.Key members of Do Make Say Think Charles Spearin and Ohad Benchetrit are the Canadian-bred backbone to Broken Social Scene which unquestionably meant they spent much of their time away from this band touring and recording (and re-recording) with the other.I caught this troupe open for BSS at one of their last tour stops this past November, and their sprawling, massive, multi-layered instrumentals did not fail to impress. I almost felt like I wanted to leave before BSS took the stage that night for fear that I would be disappointedafter such a great opening set. [Don't worry, I'm not THAT crazy!]As pitchfork describes "The Universe":Wasting no time getting to the point, the song's first few seconds find it charging from speakers like a bull from a rodeo pen, its thundering percussion and Benchetrit's surging guitarwork forming an immediate blitz to create an instantaneous momentum that sustains throughout the track's five-minute run. Do I see 23 straight days of touring????!!!
