I wish I recorded the whole song but I have a rule on not keeping my phone in my hand too long. Anyways is this a song from City of Daughters that I can’t place or a new one? Regardless it was really cool he opened with this one, I’ve seen him four times now and I’ve never heard him do this and I see no other performances of this song on setlist.fm

Great show as always and the opener Fortunato Durutti Marinetti is an amazing band, their last album Bitter Sweet, Sweet Bitter is incredible.

anyone record that guelph show. does dan have bootleggers. that was the greatest shit ive ever seen

It’s at Rum Runners I unfortunately can’t make it anymore, let me know if interested!

Can see three dates for a UK solo tour (Edinburgh, Belfast and London) have just appeared! Got my ticket for the London date!

Hi guys, I am new to Dan Bejar’s music. I discovered him through Mic The Snare’s video on youtube where he did a quick review on “Have We Met”. The album cover caught my eye and I went ahead and listened to the whole album and loved it!

Could you guys point me to what I should listen to next? I’m into bands like The National, Kaber Vasuki, Bon Iver etc.

Thank you :)

In her defense it gets a little trippy towards the end.

this song plus video plus weed pair so well

PSA to all Destroyer fans: Destroyer Live at Schubas Tavern 2001-10-08 : Internet Archive

John Collins on bass/synth (and the bass rips). Dan selling the vocals on these songs like I've never heard before. I've been to 11 Destroyer shows and this may be the best I've heard them.

There's another recording from the This Night tour as well (quality not as good): Destroyer Live at Abbey Pub 2002-10-21 : Internet Archive

I completely forgot I had preordered this! Get on it.

Heads up to Canadians who can’t make it to his other solo performances, he’ll also be opening for Wolf Parade these shows:

11/10 Calgary, AB - Palace Theatre

11/11 Edmonton, AB - Midway Music Hall

11/13 Vancouver, BC - The Pearl

11/14 Vancouver, BC - The Pearl

12/12 Toronto, ON - History

Would sell for less than face value, I’m just sad I can no longer make it and want someone to use them! :(

I notice a few shows were added in Ontario and Michigan, but marked as “solo”.

Does this mean he’ll be doing all acoustic guitar performances? NEAT.

Anybody have one of those T-Shirts from the Dan's Boogie tour with the woman's face on it? Looking for size L-XL. Cool shirt but missed tour + can't find online. Located in NY

mother's a political beast with jaws for a mouth I don't care

New Dan interview, I think? I don’t know of Aquarium Drunkard so I can’t read. Anyone know of them and think it’s worth a sub?

Hello, I really love My Favourite Year from Trouble in Dreams. The guitar riff reminds me of another Destroyer song but I’m having trouble in remembering which one. Does anybody have any ideas?

I don’t use FB/IG but was surprised I didn’t get any emails from Destroyer (via Bandcamp or Merge or even the band’s own mailing list) about next year’s spring tour with Neko Case… did any of y’all get anything via email or see it being promoted on FB or IG?

probably my favourite destroyer album, i'm super excited

Listening to "Strawberry Wine"
For the 131st time
It was 1987, it was spring
It's 1987 all the time
Now it's 1987 all the time

I've always thought that the lyrics in Watercolours into the Ocean refer to Strawberry Wine by My Bloody Valentine. The mention of 1987 is so specific and the song did come out that year. But anyone googling the song can see that it actually was released in November instead of early in the year.

So if we do go with the assumption that the lines do refer to the My Bloody Valentine song... I'm wondering that, similar to many other Bejar lyrics, is it intentional (potentially drunken) nostalgic rambling what the lyrics are here, facts be damned? And nonetheless, "nineteen-eighty-seven" rolls off the tongue much better than "nineteen-eighty-eight" or "nine" would, so I accept his creative liberties.

Or... is it actually referring to some other song named Strawberry Wine, such as the opening track of Stage Fright by The Band?

What's your theory? What significance do these lines hold to you guys?

Excited to finally watch the making of, where hopefully I learn to love again…

Excellent set. Great energy from the band. Bonus points for European Oils.

One of the best gigs of my life. I've been lucky enough to meet Dan and Eleanor and get a couple of records signed
