Broken Social Scene headlining debut at Massey Hall April 20 and 21 2022

Will McGuirk March 16, 2022

By Will McGuirk

When one looks at the legacy of BSS its hard to imagine that April 20 will be the band’s Massey Hall debut. I have always thought of the BSS more as a federation than a band as alumni of the TO collective include as you know members of Stars, Metric, Do Make Say Think, as well as massive solo acts Feist, Jason Collett and most recently Sam Jr. Not to mention Kevin Drew’s work with the late Gord Downie’s ‘Secret Path’ and the ever-present Brendan Canning. Plus all the others who have done their time with the band I consider, along with Arcade Fire, to have changed Canadian music industry in the way Nirvana and Pearl Jam did in the States, and the Clash and Sex Pistols did in Britain. There was the time before the BSS and the time after, done deal.

But so the world works, it may be timing as so many projects all have to be on hold to coordinate such a gathering. Either way the win is ours as the BSS will be on the newly renovated stage of the Massey Hall. And you know the band which is at its core a spiritual entity will fully realize the potential of the cathedral sonics of the new Hall.

OMBIIGIZI open Apr 20 and Georgia Harmer on the 21.
