Support NeoGAF

[Malakhov]

If you have a chance, GO SEE 'EM LIVE.

I went there tonight at last minute, got a ticket from a friend since it was sold out. Boy oh boy was it worth it, they're phenomenal on stage.

It was so surreal though, before they got on stage they were all walking around while the opening acts were playing, super accessible people.

I'll say it again, if you have a chance, GO!

 

[Star Power]

Please don't make me say it...

 

[enjoy bell woods]

I was waiting for you, Star Power!

 

[Diablos]

+1 TAF.

Easily one of the better indie bands making music today.

 

[bobble]

I saw them in November and talked to Mr. Win Butler at the merch booth before hand for a few minutes. Sold me a poster for 3 american dollars, but was out of shirts in anything except medium. When asked when Funeral was coming out on vinyl, he correctly told me 'mid-Feb'.


Oh, and the live show was mindblowing.

 

[bridegur]

I love these guys, but it's more winter music for me. Why do some of you have such a problem with them?

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Eh, I don't have a problem with them. I just don't get the hyperbolic praise the band gets from some people.

And I don't really like their album much.

 

[bridegur]

The praise thing is a bit annoying, but if you let that dictate what you listen to there won't be much left. And you're the last person who should be complaining about hyperbolic praise, Mr. Super Furry Animals. Jokes, jokes.

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Yeah, not many people get the SFA thing, though the next album will cause this entire forum to convert. Mark my words...

 

[bridegur]

Don't count on it. If the other SFA albums haven't, another one sure won't. Some people just don't know good music when they hear it. SFA deserve a lot more praise (other than from you, of course).

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Ugh, hope the new album sucks, then. Because I'm going to be really disgusting if it's quality.

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Of course, it'll probably be quality and I'll place a hit on anyone who wishes it to suck.

 

[bridegur]

???

 

[enjoy bell woods]

I won't be able to shut up about it.

 

[Malakhov]

I can't care less about the hype they're getting, all I know is I like them and they're awesome live.

 

[distantmantra]

I saw The Arcade Fire back in December, they put on an absolutely phenomenal live show, even if Regine is an undermedicated drama queen. Cannot wait to see them again at the end of May.

 

[Malakhov]

even if Regine is an undermedicated drama queen.

:lol

 

[enjoy bell woods]

Hey Malakhov, are they huge in Montreal?

 

[Malakhov]

Hmm can't really say, didn't follow the scene a whole lot this past year like I used to. It's pretty good if I went to about 5 shows... :/

But I don't think they're that big, they played at the corona here and there was only a few thousand peeps if not only 1-2k people. It's a small venue so of course is was a sell out.

I might be wrong though.

 

[Richiban]

I love Funeral, but I have to say that I'm a little Arcade Fire'd out.

Every day I swear I have a conversation that starts like this:

"Hey, have you heard The Arcade Fire?"

Seeing them on the cover of Time Magazine last month was pretty awesome though

They were on the cover of Time?

Well it's like that with a lot of bands I listen to. I listen to it then peeps ask me what it is and then they don't think much of it. Then a year later "HEY MAN HAVE YOU HEARD XXX, IT'S AWESOME!".

:lol

Canadian version. Second week of April.
Many blurbs about Toronto/Canadian indie bands... controller.controller, The Dears, DFA1979, Metric, Broken Social Scene etc.

And about the Montreal scene, since it has exploded. They're starting to compare it to a new seattle. It's a bit far fetched but oh well heh.

 

[mattx5]

I would've liked to have gone, just one small problem -

THE TICKETS SOLD OUT IN 15 FUCKING MINUTES!

#*^&^# I missed getting tickets for all 3 shows. Why couldn't they have played at a larger venue

 

[Socreges]

I really quite like The Arcade Fire. I'll need to find the EP. According to Wikipedia it's JUST been re-released? Nice timing.

The EP is available everywhere, I even saw it at Best Buy last week.

 

[DieNgamers]

I think it fits in this thread:

Rumors fly that David Bowie will perform some songs @ "fashion rocks" event (new york on september 8th) together with AF as backing band!
(That Bowie and AF play there is nothing new but to see them they performing together would be a nice thing, imo.)

 

[puck1337]

I have floor seats for Winnipeg. I'm really looking forward to this show.

 

[tt_deeb]

I just started listening to their album. I like it. It's cool.

 

[Gantz]

Arcade Fire sucks as much as Modest Mouse.

 

[teepo]

i don't get af and i'm happy to say i probally never will.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I'm going to see them at the Vegoose festival, but that's really about the Flaming Lips
