Check out Arcade Fire on youtube

playing a surprise encore in the foyer of the venue they played at a few weeks ago (just type Arcade Fire, Porchester Hall, foyer in the search bit).
**** I wish I had been there. They are the most exciting band around I reckon. You wouldn't catch Snow Patrol doing this.

Going to see them next week in Manchester, can't sodding wait. Tickets are like hen's teeth apparently, and I've got 2. Ace.

 

Looking forward to the new album on Monday, though its meant to be 'murkier' than 'Funeral'.

You ahem (touting) cough then you naughty scamp? They'll be worth a few bob I reckon.

I was in Toronto a couple of years ago and saw Bell Orchestra (the side-project of the tall ginger bassist and the lady violinist) in an old church hall. Pretty good, but not as hot as AR (thats Arcade Fire, not Andy Ritchie).
