The Arcade Fire Live

(I’m no good at writing these reviews, but here goes…)

I just got back from The Arcade Fire, live at the 400 Bar in Minneapolis, and I thought I would share a few thoughts.

It was an awesome show, living up to the hype that I had heard: The live show was even better than their album.

7 band members took the stage and played with the confidence and energy of a band that knows exactly what they are going to bring, and how to push it further.

If you have the opportunity to see them, I highly recommend it. Look for band members drumming on the walls, the speakers and each other’s heads. Look for the inflatable cow being tossed around. Look for the dancing violin player. Look for all kinds of wacky stuff that happens during the show, and what you’ll see is a band that has a very bright future in front of them, and I look forward to seeing it develop.

    I had a good time grinding with you at the show. It had been a long time since I last ground.
