One of the most vital voices in independent music comes to Milwaukee and The Pabst. Made up of an assortment of musical friends, lovers, and strangers, the band is an instantly engaging energetic entity
a tightly-knit community bursting at the seams with talent, personalities, songs and many, many guitars. Finally… we welcome Broken Social Scene to The Pabst!
When it got started, Broken Social Scene could balloon to 15 or more people on stage, operating much like a rock ‘n’ roll boot camp for musicians to collaborate and cut their teeth. And while many of those side bands have found great success in the mainstream and transitioned into full-time gigs, Broken Social Scene carries on. From the beginning, the group’s spiritual and musical identity has been driven by its co-founders, Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning. These days, after a pair of solo albums under the banner of “Broken Social Scene Presents,” the two are getting the band back together. Their latest album is Forgiveness Rock Record, and it’s Broken Social Scene’s first since 2005.
This time out, the group has been pared down to a leaner, more manageable core of musicians (Drew, Canning, Charles Spearin, Andrew Whiteman, Justin Peroff and relative newcomers Lisa Lobsinger and Sam Goldberg). It also brought in John McEntire, the veteran Chicago producer and multi-instrumentalist best known for his work with Tortoise and The Sea and Cake. Both changes are felt immediately on Forgiveness Rock Record.
