coldplay_steph Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 ^ I also heard of them through Chris! :) Then i saw them live on Jools Holland and i was completely blown away. Their music is so powerful, its fantastic. Neighbourhood#3 (Power Out) is one of the best songs i've ever heard, and is probably gonna be one of my fave songs of all time. I also love #1 (Tunnels) and Rebellion (Lies) is incredible. Very, VERY talented musicians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldplay_steph Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 None of my friends know who they are, or any of their songs, but recognise the band's name. I dont hear anything much about them on radio/tv either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an_cat Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 'Wake Up' is an instant classic. Really. An incredible, powerful band. I can't wait to catch them in concert, eventually! I hear they're just mindblowing live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClearAsCrystal Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 The lead singer is American (as is his brother who is also in the band' date=' the one that looks like Napoleon), the rest of the band is from Montreal.[/quote'] Actually the Napoleon look-alike is not Win's brother (the lead singer). Win's brother is Will who kind of plays miscellaneous insrutments. Win and Will grew up in Texas, Richard (aka Napoleon) is from Canada. How do I know this? I asked Will myself in January ;-)\ Awesome fantastic amazing band, and I'm going to see them again in September! Yeah..I was looking up some info on Win Butler (lead vocaslist) And it turns out he was born and lived in The Woodlands, Texas... THAT city is my current location!!! :wacko: I thought that was just about the weirdest thing! Considering I can't get enough of them. I bet if they came to tour here in Texas some time, they would rock it out here in Win's hometown.... So yeah, Win and Will are both from Texas (like it says above) and the rest are from Montreal...i think . Cool :cool: And Régine is from Haiti origionally, but she and her family had to move to New york, then Chicago...and last Montreal because of a dictatorship going on in Haiti (which is prolly why they have the song called 'Haiti' ) All of the memebers have a pretty interesting story... for more http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/The-Arcade-Fire-Biography/75455848BB82912248256F390007621C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
an_cat Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 *Arcade Fire* Second Album!! I heard news on the radio that they're currently recording their second album in Montreal in a converted church that they bought. I didn't know how much to believe (I usually think the DJ on the channel I was listening to is a bit of a dumbass), but then I found this news on NME: The Arcade Fire go to church Band start recording in unlikely venue The Arcade Fire have spoken about their plans to record their second album in a converted church in Canada. Instead of going into a 'traditional' studio, the group have splashed out their own money and bought a church near to their home city of Montreal. Recording was due to start this month, with the band hoping to release the record in 2006. Guitarist Tim Kingsbury told NME.COM: "We're going to start recording. We just bought an old church just south of Montreal and we're turning it into a recording studio. Win (Butler) and Regine (Chassagne) they both sort of had a fantasy of buying a church. "In Quebec there's a lot of old churches and over the last 30 years, church attendance has gone down significantly. Especially Catholic churches. We're so they found it on the internet and we all went and looked at it and it's amazing. It's just a little country church. Maybe at most 150 people [could fit in there]." The band say that the church dates back to around 1900, and has an interesting history. "It's an old Presbyterian church from maybe around 1900 or so and then it was a Masonic lodge for some time so there's a mason's logo in stained glass in the window," he laughed. "We're pretty sure Mary Magdalane is buried under the cellar!" The band say they still have "a lot of work" to do on the songs for the follow-up to 'Funeral', which means it might not be out until next autumn. Kingsbury added: "We have a few (songs) that we've sort of started working on. We have a lot of work to do. I think a lot of this record, we'll just start working on something and take it from there. I think our goal is to have a record out in about a year." From: http://www.nme.com/news/the-arcade-fire/21670 Oh, this should be good! I'm so excited!! 'Funeral' has been out for so long, we definately need some new material! :thumbsup: So, post any news or thoughts here, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
