Broken Social Scene

On October 21, 2008, Broken Social Scene performed 'Xerxes' live during the CMJ Music Marathon at the Gibson Showroom in NYC, marking a dynamic time in their career. This performance came hot on the heels of their self-titled album, released in 2005, which solidified their presence in the indie rock scene. By 2008, they were riding high on the waves of their innovative sound that beautifully blended art rock with a rich tapestry of influences. Fun fact: they often collaborated with a rotating cast of musicians, which made their live shows thrillingly unpredictable. Their ability to bring together various artists under one roof reflects the very essence of their collaborative spirit. At this stage, they continued to captivate audiences with energetic performances, forging deeper connections through their evocative soundscapes.
