AxelRipper Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I liked them, but MAN was it one of the strangest things i've ever seen in a non-showy musical act (a-la cooper, manson) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted August 13, 2010 Author Share Posted August 13, 2010 I liked them, but MAN was it one of the strangest things i've ever seen in a non-showy musical act (a-la cooper, manson) The second song was almost tolerable. The first was as bad as music gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 They have some good songs, but one word that comes to mind when I think of them is "pretentious." Any coincidence they are from Quebec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justnzane Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 The second song was almost tolerable. The first was as bad as music gets. The second one i found much better than the first as well. But how often does an indie act w/ 8 musicians get on national TV? Also, not too many acts sound great on the Daily Show and Colbert Report from what I remember.

DrDawkinstein Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Arcade Fire is a pretty good band. Sometimes it seems like they are trying to be artsy-fartsy indie. But their albums are good and their live show is usually good too. I just don't think that "what they do" transfers over to these types of talk-show stages very well, although I've seen them kill it on Saturday Night Live before. maybe just an off night and bad setting? Ive only given the new album one listen, but I liked what I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linksfiend Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Watched it on the DVR last night. I kinda enjoyed both tunes - thought the first song had a Jack White feel to it while the second one reminded me of early Pixies. http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-augu...-ready-to-start http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-augu...---month-of-may Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
