You may be sick of hearing about The Arcade Fire shows at Judson Memorial Church but those songs are still ringing in my ears. Instead of ending with "Wake Up" in the middle of the crowd, like they had on previous nights, the band marched into the sanctuary to play this song first. This surprise immediately hooked the crowd into a sing-along that probably would have continued if the band had not moved to the stage. Regine was tirelessly switching from wheel fiddle, to keyboard, to drums, to singing and dancing on songs like "Haiti." Winn was also in good spirits making jokes about Giuliani and performed like he was not even sick. The show was exhilarating. Four or five cameras were filming for Lance Bangs' tour documentary. We can only hope that when they come back to New York in May that it is at a descent venue. The Arcade Fire seems unstoppable and could probably continue to sell that church out until Neon Bible comes out on March 6th.





After that I headed over to Greenpoint to see !!! (Chk Chk Chk) perform at their Myth Takes album launch party, which also comes out on March 6th. There was free booze and heavy dancing. For the full review check out Product Shop.
