Arcade Fire

[british_steel]

If anyone is into good indie canadian music, Arcade Fire is a great band to check out. They don't have any tour dates in BC for the moment, but are working on a north american tour so theres still a chance they may stop here.

 

Theres been alot of hype around this band, based on their amazing live shows, in which 8 or 9 members are on stage to make sure the song comes off right.

 

If anyone's interested, check out Rebellion (lies) or Wake up.

[juanpe]

do they have an album already? what's its title?

[borntohula]

yeah, i believe they've got an album out already called "funeral".

[juanpe]

ok, i'll download it and see how it sounds... thanx!

[Dan #2]

Neighbourhood #3 & Rebellion are solid enough. I'll probably pick up the album soon...

[therethere]

three Toronto shows...all sold out! ;)

 

Ok, I knew about that like a month before, but I'm still pissed!

[british_steel]

They were selling out shows before an album was released. They were also in Rolling Stone in February I think. They're probably the most hyped band out of Canada right now. I just hope they can live up to it, they've had quite a rocky road to get where they are now.

[Seanathon]

Their video's been played quite a bit on Much lately. Can't really get into them myself though.

[ood_mutler]

'Funeral' is a pretty solid album.

[british_steel]

Their EP from '02 is pretty good too, and really hard to find. No Cars Go is probably the best song from that.

[Maverick]

You guys are just making up bands and having ppl play along with you or something.

All of these people are joining in, and playing along with us.

Haha, I wish The Arcade Fire was something I made up. Theres a whole list of solid indie acts that are bound to break through anytime now:

 

-arcade fire

-bloc party

-razorlight

-hope of the states

-The Dears

-Libertines

-Phantom Planet

 

Im sure some of these bands are pretty big in certain areas, though they don't get enough credit when compared to the regular rotation on Much music of Ashlee Simpson and the return of the Backstreet Boys.

[Don't Be So Digital]

They remind me of the Talking Heads.

 

Not bad.

[{Rebelle}]

I'm seeing them soon in Montreal... Looking forward to it.

 

I found this video performance on the net the other day:

http://www.fabchannel.com/ choose Arcade Fire 11-03-2005 in the list on the right...

Was nice to listen/watch!

[trufflepig]

they are a decent band

[saturnine]

if everyone would just shut up about the goddamn arcade fire then i might be able to say that they simply suck rather than saying they're the worst band in the history of bad bands. or rather, they're the best band in the history of bad bands... hmmm.

[mrs jesus]

you could blame it on me

like say that i hijacked your account and went on

a gay thing posting spree

[saturnine]

no one would believe you are me. you lack the wit.

[mrs jesus]

no one would believe you are me. you lack the wit.

i didn't mean for you to blame your witty things on me

 

just the gay things like that post up there

 

ugh nevermind, i am totally as witty as you, you

are just more disciplined and i thought i heard you whispering murder thought this witches brew was more than bullet-proof

but words are like guns when you shoot the moon

cause everybody whispers, yeah

[british_steel]

can we agree that no one here is on the same level as you too? doesnt matter what that level is.

[HSteele]

Either way, I live in Texas and I've known of the Arcade Fire for at least a year or so. If you have the chance to check them out do it.

[beautiful_midnight]

I do not like the Arcade Fire. Their music is creepy and boring.
