Broken Social Scene

During the live recording of 'Stay Happy' at the Fox Theater in Oakland on October 26, 2017, Broken Social Scene was riding high on the waves of their 2017 album 'Hug of Thunder.' This was the band's long-awaited return, marking their first release in seven years, following 'Forgiveness Rock Record' in 2010. At this point, the band had reassembled many of its notable members, melding their signature sound with fresh energy. Interestingly, 'Hug of Thunder' featured a mix of both new and returning faces, embodying the spirit of collaboration that the band is known for. It's a testament to their rich legacy in the indie rock scene, with songs that blend intricacy and emotional resonance. During the performance, Kevin Drew's heartfelt shoutout—'We love your country!'—echoed the band's intention to reconnect with audiences, highlighting their vibrant live presence and the warmth that characterizes their concerts.
