This Is Yer Brain On Drugs

Ever find some bands have really hard to google names?

Basketball is one such band. They created quite a stir in Vancouver before leaving us for Barcelona last fall.

If your life is what flashes before you, right before you die, Basketball just might be the musical equivalent of this. I’m not sure if I’ve heard music with a more diverse use of samples.  It’s as if they’ve traveled the world with a tiny tape recorder capturing strange encounters, then smashed it all up forcibly in a large mixing bowl and made cous-cous.

They return to Vancouver later this summer to serve up more of their ethnic delights.  Check their space for tour dates for their current European romp.
