Their most recent collection of new material, 2017’s Hug Of Thunder, was an explosive and bombastic set themed equally around catharsis and community, and it took a total of 18 musicians to bring its sound to life. From the dreamlike wash of their ambient debut Feel Good Lost to the soaring anthems of 2010’s Forgiveness Rock Record, it can potentially mean just about anything when BSS assembles for a new project. Led by singer-guitarists Brendan Canning and Kevin Drew, Toronto art rock collective Broken Social Scene has never been a bunch to easily classify. Wednesday 10/12: Broken Social Scene at Union Transfer If you’re a Philly musician or someone who loves Philly music, make it a point to be as many of these events as possible. The week’s concerts benefit nonprofits around Philly like Beyond The Bars, Girls Rock Philly, Musicopia, Philadelphia Youth Orchestra and more, and also features the Inside Hustle afternoon workshop on Saturday, where various artists and music industry persons from the city will be on hand to offer advice and perspective, including WXPN’s Mike Vasilikos and John Vettese. But that shouldn’t stop you from spending a night with Lady HD, Kayleigh Goldsworthy, Low Cut Connie and more at World Cafe Live (Wednesday), with Shamir and Echo Kid at The Dolphin (Friday), or Mannequin Pussy, Empath, Riverby, and Justmadnice at Underground Arts to wrap the week (Saturday). Some concerts are already sold out – if you don’t already have tickets to see heavy Jersey rockers Screaming Females at Johnny Brenda’s or two nights of L.A. This year’s PMF has something going on every day of the week, unofficially beginning tonight with an “industry night” kickoff show at center city’s Concourse Live starring dreamy Americana outfit Cosmic Guilt and indie singer-songwriter / former Walkman Peter Matthew Bauer. Sunday 10/9 to Saturday 10/15: Philly Music Fest Here are 15 gigs to get to in the next seven days, all around Philly for tickets and more information on them, head to the XPN Concerts and Events page. If you’re going to two concerts in the immediate future, we’ve got plenty of suggestions of which to see. If you are only going to one concert in the immediate future, make sure it’s one of theirs, since the week-long event benefits music education programs in the city. It’s another huge music week in Philadelphia, anchored by the sixth annual Philly Music Fest.
