Broken Social Scene on The Late Show With David Letterman performing "Churches Under The Stairs" from Brendan Canning's under appreciated solo album Something For All Of Us . With only seven members, the almighty BSS usually 10-13 deep in band members are still amazing, Land of Talk's Liz Powell fills in the female harmonies. Shout out Culture Bully .
