I love Arcade Fire so that was pretty rad.

Who knew that was coming?!
Never really listened to Arcade Fire until I saw them play live at the Capitol Records Tower for one of those 'secret shows.' They were really fantastic.
This was a nice surprise.

If you haven't yet listen to "Black Mirror". He channels his inner Mac.

They've name checked The Bunnymen a few times in interviews as being a major influence on the them..... On this tour they've been playing a lot of covers, usually songs from bands in the town/area/country they are playing.... In Georgia they played REM's Radio Free Europe, in Texas they played a Blondie Track (she lived in Texas for a while), Springsteen track in New York etc.........

They are a great band live band, first time I saw them was in Edinburgh supporting Franz Ferdinand and they well excellent then

The last bit in this article/blog made me laugh.

"But how the fuck did they do it? I mean, as Jamie rightly points out, the Arcade Fire basically just sound like Echo and the Bunnymen but with more folk instruments and a bit of David Byrne for good luck, so how the fuck have they hoodwinked the world of journalism into believing that they invented… well, pretty much everything? Anyway, everyone knows that was Tom Waits."

The second video posted was fantastic. Jimbo, that sounds like a fantastic show that you've seen. I have a friend on the Franz tour. Have been seeing a lot of them lately. Really enjoy them live as well.

Tjoho that was great. I'm off to see them as well come Friday. Hope it's not raining.

I should have added that I was with my 6 year old daughter.

[Dr Cheese]

Fancy forcing a 6yr old to go and see One Direction, that's despicable!

Bloody awful, no doubt you'll be taking the poor girl to Anfield as well.
