I like anything but Arcade Fire.

I like anything but Arcade Fire.

Cop out

 

[ChrisFilter]

I like the majority of electronic music, with a particular penchant for techno and drum and bass. I also like grungey / rocky stuff prior to about 96.

 

[ChrisFilter]

Oh, and some current pop is fantastic. I really don't any of the current swathe of indie-esque, emo posers.. Killers are ok, I'll stretch to that.

 

[ChrisFilter]

In all honesty, I don't hate Arcade Fire.. I can stand it for longer than a lot of the other chart indie stuff that my girlfriend occasionally plays.

 

[Dubversion]

Why didn't you both just order tickets when they came out?

wow, i wish i'd thought of that

Never mind, you can always try it next time you fancy going to a concert!

they're kind of boring after you've heard their songs a few times

Glad to hear you've got some taste

That was splendid. The church was incredible
- with a really nice restaurant in the crypt too.
When I went down to the loo I also noticed a side door that was open & unattended, so y’all could’ve snuck in.

They started out by making an entrance through the crowds (down the aisle of the church)
then began their set by playing in the walkway right next to our seats! I could have reached out and touched them had I desired;
which I did, but luckily I restrained myself. We were all gathered around them as they played – as I say, close enough to touch.
It was great!
I think I love Mrs. Arcade Fire, she’s so damn enthusiastic….
It’s really great to see someone as animated, excited & passionate as the fans, about their own music.
Around half way through Mr. Arcade Fire came into the audience and walked all over our seats
– I’m pleased to say he walked on my chair too!
They come in through the crowds & left this way iirc. I did hear rumour that they’d play outside the church,
once the crow had left. We waited for a while at the end,
but this didn’t happen…. my only gripe (and it’s not a real gripe) was that they didn’t play Headlights Look Like Diamonds:
that song’s very special (/to me).
They sounded great; they’re so passionate & energetic.
Mr. AF has the most incredible voice, the church was ideal, the entire gig was quite moving and utterly fabulous.
Very happy.

Still no ticket for Brixton dates

 

[The_Reverend_M]

Think Tastebud has pretty much summed up the gig but I'll just add the word ... AMAZING!

 

[Red Faction]

they're AWESOME!

 

[MsShirlLaverne]

16th of March for me... can't wait!

 

[The_Reverend_M]

15th and 17th for me

 

[Fred Litmustest]

16th for me - I listened to the new album properly for the first time while I was driving yesterday - a minute in to the first track I was grinning like a loon and I didn't stop 'til it finished.
There's even a track that sounds like Bruce Springsteen would if he was good ...

 

[tastebud]

17th for me. woooo
