Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler versus City and Colour mainstay Dallas Green? Battle of the bands? No, not exactly. These Canadian musicians and others are dribbling over to the second annual charity basketball throwdown Rock the Court, according to Exclaim!

The event, which takes place in Toronto Sept. 10 with proceeds going towards Athletes for Africa and Toronto children's charity St. Alban's Boys & Girls Club, has also called upon NBA stars like San Antonio Spurs' Matt Bonner and Philadelphia 76ers' Spencer Hawes for the star-studded four-on-four tournament.

Rock the Court is open to the public, too. So if you feel like showing off your three-pointer, register a team right away. For $500 -- to an excellent cause -- you can play b-ball with eight to 12 friends and get hooked up with the "celebrity draft" plus prizes and access to the after-party.

Keep your eyes peeled for Butler and Green in the locker room. Win is the tall one.
