Waiting for a place to happen

Walking through downtown Vancouver last night after seeing the movie "Flags of our Fathers", we passed the big construction hole that is Granville street and couldn't help but notice this band, that was inside the security fence with lights and all their gear, playing a Tragically Hip song. I really couldn't tell if it was the Hip, they were all in costume and make-up for Hallowe'en, but they sure sounded like the Hip. Was it? Does anyone know the answer for me? I do know that they are going to be doing 4 shows the next few nights, but would they be so cool as to play right in the street?

Either way, it was cool to see a band playing right on Granville, but it was also too cold and we were too hungry to stay and listen. Too bad, would have been a good show.
