| THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO ARCADE FIRE EVENTS. |
You can never see the same Arcade Fire show twice. On average each performance is comprised of no less then 9 people and 12 instruments. The multi-talented outfit hails from Montreal, Quebec Canada and each member brings with them an array of skills that sets this band apart from their indie rock peers.
With their debut album "Funeral" 2004, Arcade Fire became industry phenoms. With no backing by a major label they sold out the Merge Records inventory and garnered a spot on the Billboard Top 200. They were nominated for Best Song Written for Television/Film and Best Alt. Rock Album at the 2005 Grammy Awards. Although they didnít go home with any physical awards, the recognition they received goes beyond a trophy.
Members of the band will switch instruments on stage, each taking part in making a unique musical experience at each show. Their live sets have a tendency to play out more like one long movement and not the rock concerts you are used to. This is one of the reasons their 2005 performance at Coachella is deemed the highlight of the festival. "Funeral" was acclaimed by Pitchfork, Filter and No Ripcord magazines as the Album of the Year. They graced the April 2005 cover of Time magazine where they were celebrated as the band that brought good music back to Canada. On the brink of their much anticipated, self produced, sophomore release there are no signs that the genius of "Funeral" and songs like "Neighbordhood #1" are fading.
