The Toronto collective, led by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, are renowned for their various associated band members including Grammy nominated Leslie Feist, members of Do Make Say Think, KC Accidental, Metric and Apostle of Hustle, among many others. With previous performances involving anywhere from six to twenty musicians, it is anyone’s guess how many contributors will complete this musical ensemble throughout the tour.
Having received glowing reviews since their return from hiatus and Hug of Thunder being described as the album that ‘distills their sound to a vital essence’, the Broken Social Scene party will be bringing their indie rock utopian collectivism to Birmingham.
