Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler in his hometown for a charity basketball game plans have been announced.
Arcade Fire, said they believed in rock'n'roll music is nothing left to discover is not accepted.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Butler said he is confident that within that style and that there was a lot of unexplored areas are still "many sounds to make".
He said, A lot of people get really stuck in this idea that everything's been done, and there’s nowhere left to go. Rock 'n' roll is almost the most conservative form of performance art: you play your guitar, these are the moves, this is what the songs are about, and this is the energy. I always felt like there's so many sounds to make and things to talk about in songs. There's more to life than 'I love you baby, la, la, la'
He continued, I approach it more like film-making: you would never say every film has been made. You just tell another story. I thought I would try and talk directly about common experiences that aren’t that cool to talk about, which is the starting place for a lot of the art we do.
Butler also revealed that the band, during the last few months working on his fourth studio album and try to write music with no audience in mind.
He added, We don’t think about our audience when we’re making music, it's a selfish impulse. But when we’re putting it out in the world, I want it to be of service. People can do a lot of great things when they're exposed to the right stuff. We’ve been on the other side, going to concerts since we were kids, buying records, and the bands that made it through the suburbs are part of the reason we ended up being artists.

Arcade Fire's The Suburbs has made this year's Polaris Prize shortlist, and nine other prestigious $ 30,000 award and honor to be listed on your back for a release.Abraham told Spinner.com, "The fact that there was no reaction to the Arcade Fire nomination announcement was indicative of the fact that I think everyone thinks they have a lock on the competition".
"But if there's any proof that what happens in that jury room can't be predictive, it's myself, F---ed Up winning -- I was convinced that K'Naan or Joel Plaskett were going to get it the year we got it. That's the thing about Polaris, though the Arcade Fire look like the favourite, I would not be surprised to see any one of these artists walk away with it."
