Broken Social Scene bring out the greatest hits at End of the Road Festival
After a five year absence from British shores, Toronto supergroup Broken Social Scene made a long-awaited return to the European gig scene at End of the Road Festival this evening
The dozen-strong indie-rock collective treated audiences to an animated greatest hits set, including mid-Noughties classics "Almost Crimes" and "Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl". Frontmen Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning compared the tremendous reception they received tonight to the somewhat less-enthusiastic one they suffered after playing after Goldie Lookin' Chain at Reading 2006, which they quipped "was like following Elvis".
They also compelled the assembled crowd to "scream their problems away" during the brass-filled climax of "Ibi Dreams of Pavement", resulting in sore throats and broad smiles all round.
