Broken Social Scene's Kevin Drew has announced the first show in support of his upcoming solo album entitled Darlings, out March 18th via Arts & Crafts, at NYC's Bowery Ballroom on April 3rd. In his first NYC performance since playing with BSS in 2011, Drew will hit the stage with longtime collaborators Charles Spearin and Ohad Benchetrit (Do Make Say Think, Broken Social Scene), Dean Stone (Apostle of Hustle), Dave Hamelin (The Stills, Eight and a Half), and Marty Kinack (Broken Social Scene). Tickets will be available in an American Express pre-sale tomorrow, February 5th, and general sale begins Friday, February 7th - PRESS HERE<http://www.boweryballroom.com/event/488903-kevin-drew-new-york> to get your tickets.
Drew has also unveiled "Good Sex (Beatology Remix)," which is seasoned BSS producer and collaborator Dave Newfeld's take on the first single off Darlings. Having produced Broken Social Scene's breakout record You Forgot It In People as well as 2005's Self Titled, Newfeld played a key role in defining the band's sound in the studio and helped to develop records that intrigued, challenged, and elevated the listener. Here, Newfeld takes the love song "Good Sex" and joyously expands on the song's ideal.

Darlings shows Drew growing from his role as co-founder, songwriter and front man in indie vanguard Broken Social Scene to create a breakthrough statement of personal artistry. Darlings is also his first solo album that is truly, to put it bluntly, solo. If Drew's 2007 effort Spirit If... was his inaugural step beyond the decade-long shadow of his former band, Darlings spotlights Drew with seven years more experience and maturity. Darlings reveals a more focused and refined sound; more honest, revelatory songwriting, with Drew's craft concentrated on lyrical and emotional connections, less so than guitar pedals and studio jams. On Darlings, Kevin Drew casts reflective inspiration forward into the brightness of the future with a soundtrack to kick everything into high gear.
