Just How Incredibly Cool Are Arcade Fire?
Arcade Fire are in my top 5 bands of all time.
If you have ever experienced them playing ‘No Cars Go’ live, you’ll know what I mean.
Check out this video from 3 years ago at Glasto…
Prior to playing that set, they we’re speaking backstage about not being sure what to expect – not even being sure if the set would go down well.
It blew the place away…
These guys MEAN IT.
You know when Bill Hicks says play from your f-ing heart? That’s what Arcade Fire do.
But now – in a remarkable feat of technical achievement, they’ve partnered with Google to release a ground-breaking video (geeks, listen up – it’s a jaw-dropping HTML5 Google Chrome Experiement).
Basically, the video is customised to the location you grew up in. At the end, you can write a postcard from the future to when you were young, with thoughts you’d like yourself to know back then. Finally, you can share the customised video and postcard with anyone you wish.
Being a fan aside, this is one of the most outstanding multimedia experiences I have ever seen.
Multimedia aside, their musical talent is incredible and I’m always amazed they aren’t more widely admired (but quite thankful for that too…)
