I'm sorry, but I just watched a video of an hour long set from Austin City Limits, and I can say without a doubt that if this band ever justifies coming to Australia I will be taking time off work to go to every show around the country.

If you don't like them, fuck you. If you don't know them, it's about time you did.

'Headlights Look Like Diamonds' is probably their best song. Do you have anything worth gmailing?


HEB  said about 5 years ago:

Great live band


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

I can safely say the same thing. Would travel around with them.


le_disco  said about 5 years ago:

the video is way too big, but you might find something on youtube.


Goodbye_beret!  said about 5 years ago:

OK- I have the ep and the album, just meant if there was some 'extra' song that is very much worth owning.


ProDelgado  said about 5 years ago:

GB - There's one called "Intervention", they've played it live a few times, and on their KCRW session...if you can't find it online send me a PM and I'll transfer it to mp3 for you.


Wonky  said about 5 years ago:

Saw them three times in London and each gig was fucking phenomenal. Will travel up and down the east coast to see them when I get home.

Fingers crossed for the BDO.


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

Not BDO - for Meredith, or something else. I would hate, hate, hate to see them at BDO. Completely the wrong atmosphere for them. Can you imagine beer-swilling bogans whooping for more? :( :(


anonymous  said about 5 years ago:

no, cos they'd be off seeing mudvayne


nothroughroad  said about 5 years ago:

phew its lucky i like them or i would have got a big ol fuck you in my face!


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

It would be a comparitively terrible crowd, though.


Goodbye_beret!  said about 5 years ago:

ProD - cheers! I only just saw this- will search for it.


bumcheeksinthewind  said about 5 years ago:

i'll build a tunnel all round the country.


gunshot_glitter  said about 5 years ago:

plaintive cry to band..come to Oz and we'll shower you with adoration and beer..bring Bowie


hiponion  said about 5 years ago:

WILL YOU, BUMMY?

but yes, the whispers are getting stronger.

Dog the Bounty Hunter hasn't heard of them!!!


Sunnyboyz  said about 12 months ago:

interesting... it's not even their best album. pfft.


mrmagoo  said about 12 months ago:

they'd be too big now to play Splendour wouldn't they?


Sunnyboyz  said about 12 months ago:

I don't think so.


JJ  said about 12 months ago:

WHO THE FUCK ARE THE SUBURBS

mrmagoo said 4 hours ago: they'd be too big now to play Splendour wouldn't they?

why?

Strokes recently played it. Radiohead tipped to play it this year.

The Suburbs aren't bigger than the aforementioned, surely.


mrmagoo  said about 12 months ago:

Radiohead were tipped in a fake lineup, can't see them doing it, and the Strokes hadn't done shit for ages

was just thinkin they might have outgrown Splendour, no real reasoning behind it, just a thought


mud  said about 12 months ago:

They're not too big, but they would be one of the night headliners.

Though if Splendour is the weekend of July 30th, they're busy playing with U2 in Canada.



pandad  said about 11 months ago:

New posts on that website featuring passionate Arcade Fire fans who are clearly brain damaged and do not get the joke

ghoti-max  said about 9 months ago:

Heard amazing things about their Coachella set, there are few new bands I'd rather see play a show that size.


Eple  said about 9 months ago:

seeing them at Le Zenith in Paris in a few months.


Sunnyboyz  said about 9 months ago:

It may have been said but everytime is hear sprawl II on the radio, I think it's a new song by The Knife.

Damn you arcade fire.
