Broken Social Scene is a Juno Award-winning Canadian indie rock musical collective, characterized by numerous sounds, grand orchestrations featuring guitars, horns, woodwinds, and violins, unusual song structures, upbeat tempos and an experimental, and sometimes-chaotic production style.

Toronto musicians and friends, Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, started Broken Social Scene in 1999. Building on that collaboration, the band has since featured and spun-off some of the most recognizable names in indie rock including Leslie Feist, and Metric’s Emily Haines and James Shaw.

Broken Social Scene’s 2002 recording, You Forgot It in People was released to great Canadian praise and fanfare. The band spent the next two-and-a-half years on tour in the U.S., Europe and Japan. Drew and managers Jeff Remedios and Daniel Cutler also launched their own imprint, Arts & Crafts, which became home to Broken Social Scene and its numerous satellite acts, such as Apostle of Hustle and Stars.

This event is presented by the Performing Arts Center with the Texas Union Student Events Center’s Music and Entertainment Committee (MEC). The majority of funding for this event is provided through the MEC by designated tuition paid by all students.

Those who’ve seen Broken Social Scene before may possibly recall that they are really durn good on stage. There are a whole bunch of them, they’ve all got talent, and as a strikingly peculiar bonus, they really seem to enjoy playing music with one another. more at austinist.com

This enormous Canadian indie rock crew has been around for a decade, stacking sounds up like cordwood, rubbing ornate orchestrations up against rock band structures, a bit like more famous fellow Canadians the Arcade Fire but somehow more so – more sounds, more competing melodies, more chaos. more at www.austin360.com

The group that made it hip to carelessly refer to every other band as a “collective,” Toronto’s Broken Social Scene thrives on a sprawling lineup of Canadian indie-rock’s finest. more at austin.decider.com
