Artist Spotlight: Arcade Fire

Artist Spotlight: Arcade Fire

This weeks post is dedicated to debatably my favorite band of all time with the exception of maybe two other bands. I was inspired to share my deep love for them after watching them perform on Saturday Night Live this past weekend (Bill Hader Special, absolutely epic).

Arcade Fire is led by quite possibly the coolest couple to ever exist, Winn Butler and Regine Chassagne. Their chemistry on stage is electric and their vocals could melt glaciers (does that even make sense??) Win’s little brother, William, is also a member of the band along with Richard Reed Perry, Tim Kingsbury and Jeremy Gara.

I first fell in love with them in 2010 when their third album, “The Suburbs” came out. Arcade Fire was a magical introduction to my one true love, indie rock. Since sophomore year of high school I have been obsessed with them and had always wanted to see them live.

Lucky for me, they headlined Coachella 2014 and I got to see the up close and personal for the first time. Their stage presence is nothing short of perfection and every song has such a different vibe to it which makes their shows so exciting. Back in October they played at Oracle and I got to see them again. I don’t want to be dramatic but it was an out of body experience and I will never forget it. May or may not have shed a few tears. Who’s to say.

If you aren’t familiar with Arcade Fire, I highly recommend checking them out. Their latest album “Everything Now” is maybe my favorite album of 2017. Try to change my mind. As for tour dates, unfortunately for us they’re in Europe for the the next six months. BUMMER. Doesn’t mean you can’t jam the eff out to them in your car though.

I know I haven’t done an artist spotlight in maaaaybe two years but I am trying to switch it up and keep my followers on their toes, ja feel?? Stay tuned for next week’s baller playlist. Now that I said I am posting in a week you guys have to hold me accountable so I stop procrastinating.

OK THANK U ENJOIIIII
