Arcade Fire have now reunite with director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Where the Wild Things Are), "The Suburbs," their single music video available December 20, eerily to life.The band previously worked with Jonze when he commissioned a new version of their song "Wake Up" for his 2009 film Where the Wild Things Are.
Last spring Jonze told MTV that he wanted "The Suburbs" video to play out like a short film. Captured in the suburbs of Austin, Texas, the music video features a group of bored teenagers riding bikes, shooting off BB guns, getting into trouble and eventually getting in over their heads.
"It was great just hanging out with these 15-year-olds for a week and writing down all the funny things they said," singer Win Butler told Pitchfork.com. "It was cool to revert to being a 15-year-old for a little while."
Over the past few decade SNL has brought us plenty of great musical performances and last Saturday’s was no exception as Arcade Fire deliver a blissful performance and hit the stage at 30 Rock.With host Scarlett Johansson introducing them, the band played through hits off their latest album, The Suburbs.
He started with “We Used to Wait” with Win Butler at the helm,and the stage could not contain him or his feelings The singer took the microphone, and first went and stared down the camera in front of the stage. He then went and stood on an empty chair in the front row -- all the while never missing a beat. For those who say that indie music lacks any feeling or soul, here is exhibit one to dismiss that myth.
They went on to play “Sprawling II (Mountains over Mountains)” with Regine taking over singing duties. But the best moment of the whole evening may have been the digital short that they were a part of.
Arcade fire bandmate Will Butler has unveil that they are hoping to start work on their next album very soon if they can't get over the problem of writing and touring at the same time.
"We've never successfully written or done anything really in a middle of a touring cycle (but this time we'll try),We'll definitely be touring next Spring - the weather is be nicer for driving around then than in the winter. We're going to experiment this winter. We're not quite sure what we're doing in February, but January and March we'll probably be off" said Butler
He further added that "We're going to see if we can maybe get into a different rhythm besides the tour, tour, tour, rest, rest, rest, tour, tour, tour, rest, rest, rest. We're going to see if we can intertwine them a little bit".
Arcade Fire did one spectacular evening at the shrine stadium and got a lot of wows from the audience of the Shrine Auditorium. People were continuously saying once more once more for each song of Arcade Fire. It was a wonderful night.
Arcade Fire opened a sold out two night stand at the Shrine Auditorium in carry of the latest launch The Suburbs Thursday night. Some proceeds from the shows benefit Partners In Health. Overall, a great concert from a group that not long ago was doing their thing over at Space land to similar delight. Check the scene from Thursday here.
