Broken Social Scene performs Protest Song live at Arroyo Seco Weekend
In June 2017, Broken Social Scene delivered a captivating performance of 'Protest Song' at the Arroyo Seco Weekend in Pasadena, right after the release of their highly anticipated album 'Hug of Thunder,' which came out just a month prior. This marked a significant return for the band, as they had been relatively quiet since their last studio album, 'Forgiveness Rock Record' in 2010. Fans eagerly awaited new material, and 'Hug of Thunder' showcased their signature blend of indie rock, characterized by rich textures and collaborative energy. The live recording captures not just the music but also the sheer joy of reunion among band members, creating a vibrant atmosphere. Interesting tidbit: at the Arroyo Seco Weekend, the band’s performance was a testament to their enduring legacy, demonstrating how they've evolved while remaining true to their roots. Their ability to blend art with social commentary continues to resonate, making this performance particularly memorable.
