Im addicted to the Arcade Fire

[Princey]

...and U2 are to blame

It all started with 'Wake Up' before U2 came on stage. i loved that track so much it convinced me to buy the album 'Funeral', which after a few hours listening to i fell in love with, causing me to want more AF so i went out and bought the EP, called 'Arcade Fire', which i also love.

Since then ive been scoruing the web for live boots, tried and failed to get tickets to one of their shows, constantly looking over eBay for vinyls and singles i dont have yet. I went out today and bought their new single, on both CD and Vinyl. On a night out on Sunday i even put £1 in the Jukebox to play one of their songs just so i could see the video for the song for the first time.

and if i wasn't just starting University at the time of the show, i would be seriously considering crossing the Atlantic to go see the Arcade Fire supporting U2 on the third leg

It reminds me alot of when i first truly fell in love and became 'addicted' to U2's music, and i was just wondering if anyone else has had this reaction after being introduced to The Arcade Fire via U2's intro tape at a show?

totally...and i got the cd, then the ep, now if only i had the money to buy the vinyls and go to the concerts...

the arcade fire rocks

and now i can't listen to love and peace without hearing wake up first!

 

[tuwie]

i don't blame you, they're awesome. ;]

it could be worse. you could be addicted to crack or bad music.

I really like Arcade Fire too, although I've liked them since I heard an mp3 of theirs sometime last year, not because of a U2 show.

If you don't want to cross the Atlantic, I did hear a rumour that they may do some European dates late this year or early next year. I'm a bit sceptical about that, to be honest, but if you really want to see them then it's something to hope for.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Yes they're really good, aren't they?

 

[God Part III]

They're amazing.

Theyve just finished touring the UK...i tried to get tickts but failed, i underestimated just how popular they are over here

Yeah, they played in my town last week but I couldn't go.

Apparently the rumour I heard about them touring Europe later this year was wrong. NME are reporting that they're going to start recording their second album this year and won't tour Europe again until it's finished.

Oh well.

 

[Princey]

oh well...no tour but new album.

sounds fair

 

[MsMofoGone]

I'm gonna go buy that new album when it comes out !!

 

[celia]

I love them too.

Im gutted I missed the UK tour. Cant stop listening to Funeral right now.
