Broken Social Scene’s Justin Peroff to host invitation-only pop-up concert on Ossington with new band Eight and a Half

It may only seem like yesterday that Broken Social Scene went on hiatus and Kevin Drew went a little nutty on Twitter, but drummer Justin Peroff is back in the music game with Eight and a Half (which also includes Dave Hamelin and Liam O’Neil from The Stills), and the band will be performing a pop-up concert at 109 Ossington on April 26. Label Arts and Crafts refers to Eight and a Half as a “new, very real band,” hoping to put an end to thoughts that this may just be yet another side project in a long line of post-BSS side projects.
