June 4, 201016 yr arcade fire have been pretty big since their first release, over here at least. i recently saw funeral winning album of the decade in a respected magazine
June 4, 201016 yr Yeh it was one of the best album of the decades, it would be out of my top 5 though. I did a cover of Wake Up, let me know what you think! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kiom9IGf_4]YouTube- Wake Up-Arcade Fire[/ame]
June 5, 201016 yr They're pretty big here, too. I've seen Wake Up on our major music tv channel quite a lot, actually. Which is why I'm hoping they'll be here next tour!
June 5, 201016 yr yeah you're right. they were in aus+nz for BDO 2008 and alot of sideshows. including two very very famous nights at sydney's enmore theatre. at the sydney BDO they actually headlined the orange stage (the second main stage) after bjork pulled out. here is some footage from those famous sydney shows. the guys at triple j still call it the greatest show they've ever seen. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJcqmhBivL0]YouTube- Arcade Fire - Wake Up Live Sydney 2008[/ame] here is how they ended their second-headlining performance at the sydney BDO 08. not bad to be the second last band to play at a massive music festival on your first visit down here.

June 5, 201016 yr i saw them at leeds festival in 2007 (i think) on the main stage and they were amazing. had to flee once they had finished since razorlight were up next. half the razorlight fans turned up towards the end of the AC set and you could spot them a mile off. disgusting creatures. missed them in 2005 (i think) at the same festival but in a tent, since i hadn't heard of them yet and somebody else was on and it's one of my big regrets. that would have been awesome.
June 5, 201016 yr awesome!! anyone found any video footage from it? i heard it was in front of only 60 people.
June 5, 201016 yr Interesting song titles. Oh and has anyone checked out the new shirts in their store? Pretty cool artwork.
June 5, 201016 yr NEW SONG TITLES :bomb: Fat chance though there will be videos if the show was for 60 people. :sad:
June 5, 201016 yr They just played the first show. A secret one in an abandoned building. Setlist: Ah, how exciting ! Can't wait to hear all the new songs! Especially "Rololo" :laugh3: Interesting song titles. Oh and has anyone checked out the new shirts in their store? Pretty cool artwork. Honestly I don't like the artwork for the new shirts at all. :\
June 6, 201016 yr It would be like under $300 to roadtrip and see them. I think I'm doing it. that sounds awesome! nothing like going on a road trip, and also seeing a band live.
June 6, 201016 yr ^Briggs, you are so lucky! Hope it all works out! I'd rather say the song is called Rococo but why not? xD Yeah, I think it is Rococo too hehe
