About

Belle and Sebastian are a Glaswegian indie band, known for their wistful, intellectual lyrics and melodic style and often compared to musicians such as Nick Drake and bands such as The Smiths. Many believe that they are the definitive sound of modern indie folk in Scotland. They formed in 1996, taking their name from the French children's book, Belle et Sébastien. Their sound is considered to be unusual and distinctive, and it has inspired a loyal following, although the band has never sought widespread commercial success and has in fact often shunned excess media coverage.

Originally signed to Jeepster Records, the band released a number of albums before signing with Rough Trade Records in the UK and Matador Records in the US. Their discography includes the studio albums Tigermilk, famous for being recorded in only three days, and If You're Feeling Sinister. They were both released in 1996, with the well known Boy with the Arab Strap released in 1998, Storytelling in 2002, The Life Pursuit in 2006, and Belle and Sebastian Write About Love in 2010. The band have also appeared on various compilation albums and live albums.

The band has received a number of award nominations, including the BRIT Awards' Best Newcomer, an Ivor Novello and the Mercury Music Prize. They also hosted their own music festival, the Bowlie Weekender, and were voted the Greatest Scottish Band by The List in 2005. Their music has appeared in a range of films, and they have toured throughout the UK, Europe and America. One particularly notable show was at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic in front of a sell-out crowd of 18,000. Band members also worked to compile a CD collection of fresh children's songs along with a range of artists, including the Flaming Lips and Franz Ferdinand in 2006.

  • Excellent

    by Stéphanie on 2024-05-02MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    Le show était excellent et l'ambiance parfaite. Ils sont fantastiques sur scène et très drôle. Seul bémol a été la fouille vraiment exagéré à l'entrée.

  • Awesome

  • WOW

    by cam on 2024-05-01MTELUS - MontrealRating: 5 out of 5

    this was so good and they interacted a lot with the public which made it very intertaining

  • Julien Baker is amazing

    by Unraveled on 2017-07-30Sony Centre For The Performing Arts - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5

    I won't lie, I bought the ticket solely to see Julien Baker open and she was her usual incredible self. Sony Centre is a beautiful venue but as someone with long legs, the cup holders are incredibly uncomfortable. Luckily no stayed seated during Belle and Sebastian.

  • Amazing!

    by BandS12 on 2010-10-16Dar Constitution Hall - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Incredible show - loved every minute. The venue was terrific and had great acoustics.

  • Super fun!

    by Magnum76 on 2010-10-14Massey Hall - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    What a great show, B&S did not disappoint with their dry Scottish wit and fun energy. They even had Torontonians up and dancing in Massy Hall. Unfortunatly our seats sucked though and we could only see the half of the stage that didn't have the organ, female vocals, violin and cello. Never buy left upper bowl seats at Massey Hall.

    Lively and great audience interaction. I had seen them a few years back and had enjoyed myself, but this time was even better!

  • Twee-Fun

    by deVoxTurk on 2010-10-14Massey Hall - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5

    I've been a Belle & Sebastian fan for years and it was great to finally see them live. Toronto's Zeus opened up and I was looking forward to seeing them as well and they did an amazing job at warming the crowd up. Belle & Sebastian then came on, they started out a bit slow but once they started playing some of the fan favourites and interacting more with the audience it turned out to be a really fun night. They were openly talking with members of the audience and even brought some up to dance with them.
