Kevin Drew - Backed Out On The Video

Broken Social Scene Presents Kevin Drew
Backed Out On The
Video

The 1st single from Broken Social Scene Presents Kevin Drew's album Spirit If... 'Backed Out On The...' and is released on 10th September 2007.

The video happened last minute after a Dinosaur Jr show in Toronto where J, Lou, and Murph all came to the shoot to hang out. John Caffery from 'Kids on TV' was hired to come and dance his ASS off and a spontaneous party was put into effect.

There were seven mirrors, one disco ball, four lights, one bottle of rum, three bottles of tequila, 62 beers, four crew, and 17 people. It got put together on the day of the shoot and became the party of the year. It cost three thousand dollars to make... And is priceless.

If the lines between Kevin Drew: Broken Social Scene Founder and Kevin Drew: Solo Artist occasionally blur on Spirit If..., it's simply because such distinctions are irrelevant in the bigger picture, and the songs on Spirit If... easily reconcile the contrast between the enormous and the intimate. For every gentle, snare-brushed turn like "Safety Bricks" or "Broke Me Up," there's a mutant, synth-freaked mash-up ("Big Love"), an open-freeway rock anthem ("Backed Out On The...") or celebratory group hug ("Lucky Ones"). On top of every Broken Social Scene member making an appearance, the guest list just keeps getting bigger and bigger: this is, after all, the first album in the history of rock music to feature guest contributions from J. Mascis (Dinosaur Jr.), Scott Kannberg (Pavement), piano master Gonzales, Joules Scott-Key (Metric), Andrew Kenny (The American Analog Set), Dave Mitchell (Do Make Say Think) and, yes, even Canadian FM-radio icon Tom Cochrane.
