Seriously just discovered these guys (and gals) and damn...

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs

[Jaimoe]

They put on one of my Top 5 concerts back during their Neon Bible tour and their stop at Massey Hall in Toronto. Win got the entire crowd to come on down to the front of the stage and dance the night away, which is no easy task given Massey Hall's 3 levels and it's not the best place to traverse since the venue is very old and classy (National Historic Site). Arcade Fire are a Canadian treasure (with a couple of good Califonia-Texas boys).

[Northern Neighbour]

One of the best bands in the world.  Tremendous songwriters, highly talented, and on top of that Canadian.

Mostly Canadian, but Canadian based and recognized as a Canadian band.

That is super awesome.

This is one of the first gigs my oldest son went to when he was around a year old, just a month or two before Arcade Fire "broke". I was jealous when I realised who alienlanes had dragged him along to see, in the backpack carrier, in a small club downtown

I realize that.  While the Butler brothers have roots in Texas, they unabashedly promote themselves as a band from Montreal.

If the band ever splits, we'll see if the Butlers stay in Quebec. They are proud of their homeland. That being said, you'd have a hard time finding a better place to live than Montreal, although the new Quebec Premier, Pauline Marois, is a fucking c and ends with a t and will chase away tens of thousands before her reign comes to an end.

Both Butlers live in Montreal.  Unless Win and Regine get divorced, I think the band will be around for a while.  I think what helps keep the band going is that all of them have input in the songwriting process and there's tremendous flexibility for each to do other products.

Neon Bible has become my favorite album from AF.  My two favorite songs from them are probably Antichrist Television Blues and My Body Is A Cage.

Went to see them last night at one of their "secret shows" down here in Miami.
They played a neat/small outdoor venue.  it was really just the courtyard of the Little Haiti Cultural Center, and it probably didn't hold more than 2,000 folks, and that could even be overestimating it.

No opening act, just them.  They played a very short set...about an hour and 15 minutes, and most of the stuff was off of their new album.
Would have been nice if they played longer, or a more varied set...but considering this was their first time in Miami, I guess beggars can't be choosers.

I've never been a huge fan of theirs...always found them kinda "soft," but they're definitely talented musicians who know how to put on a good show.

I'm afraid on their new tour they will only play 1hr 30min max.  They always seem to play short sets, as most bands do.  I hope I'm wrong though.  These guys and gals could put on a 2 hour+ show easily. I'm personally hoping to hear more Neon Bible this time around and less Suburbs.

Love Suburbs, Neon Bible, Funeral. Can't wait for the new album! In the meantime, enjoy the Montreal ensemble performing a new song with one of their heroes:

"I Dreamed A Neil Young Song" (Live) - Arcade Fire - Mtn. View, Shoreline - October 26, 2013

Got my vinyl copy of Reflektor in the mail today and listened to it twice already.  It's really good.  Seeing them on Halloween at the Palladium in Hollywood.
