In conjunction with their 2010 international tour for their newly released album, Forgiveness Rock Record, Broken Social Scene will be performing at the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, MI, on Friday, October 1, 2010 at 7:30pm. This concert is brought to you by University of Michigan student-run concert committee New Beat Happening, sponsored by University Unions Arts & Programs.

Broken Social Scene, renowned indie rock group from Toronto, has performed at festivals and shows around the world. The band's core members, Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning, have performed and recorded alongside other rising stars including Leslie Feist, Metric's Emily Haines, and Stars' Evan Cranley. Their experimental sound and structure is orchestrated for a large number of instrumentals, and is occasionally described as ”˜baroque pop.' In their live performances, Broken Social Scene exhibits the intricate production and powerful delivery that characterizes their music. This performance will feature at least eight members of the group who are still regularly touring. For more information about Broken Social Scene, please visit www.brokensocialscene.ca.
