Arcade Fire - "No Cars Go" / "Neon Bible"

Without doubt, one of the greatest bands to arrive in the "aughts" were the Arcade Fire. Their first major release, Funeral, made a big impact on the indie scene and earned them die-hard fans worldwide while still simmering under the radar. But then their live performances wrote the book on viral music, with rumours of busking and epic spontaneous encores in lobbies making the rounds on the internet.

The Arcade Fire are likely the best of the "community" artists. Not only are they a large band - a community in itself - but their connection to the audience is incredible. The audience becomes part of the performance, part of the band, and because of that, their live dynamic is ever changing and always unique.

Due for a new album sometime mid-2010, one can only hope they play Bonnaroo in June. Please...
