Follow the link to download a video clip of Owen (aka Final Fantasy) covering Bloc Party' s This Modern Love while on tour in the UK. It's fucking genius.

UPDATE: Final Fantasy will be playing the Over The Top Festival launch party on January 11, 2006 accompanied by a String Quartet. The show will take place at The Great Hall (1087 Queen Street at Dovercourt) and will also feature performaces by the Akron/Family and Great Lake Swimmers. Tickets are $12 and are currently available at Rotate and Soundscapes. Don't miss this show, it will probably be one of the last times Owen plays a smallish venue in the city. He seems to be getting shitloads of press as of late. He was just featured in the latest issue of Under The Radar magazine (based out of LA) in their all Canadian issue. Check the amazing piece on Broken Social Scene.

BSS have as confirmed a second date at Kool Haus on January 20, 2006. Tickets are on sale Monday Nov. 14th via ticketmaster and the regular indie record stores.
