Broken Social Scene Island Fest Recap

This past weekend Broken Social Scene curated their own summer festival featuring themselves, Pavement, Band of Horses, and Beach House. Completely sold out with 10,000 people the event had a great atmosphere. Instead of having some fast food hot dog or pizza vendors the band picked all their favorite local Toronto eataries/breweries and had them set up booths on the island. Also available at the show were the extremely limited RVCA x BSS vintage dye t-shirt that sold out before the band even got off the stage.

Aside from the usual 12+ piece live Broken Social Scene band they were also joined on stage by friends Feist, Emily and Jimmy from Metric, Sebastien from Death from Above 1979, the guys from Pavement, and John McEntire from Tortoise/Sea & Cake.
