Its a close tie between Intervention and No Cars Go for me!

Loved No cars go for years. I am also loving Intervention. Haven't listened to whole album yet.

Edit: My ears say No cars go has been re-recorded.

Since the EP?

It's quite different, it sounds a lot faster to me. I'm not sure which version I prefer really, but I love the song.

I like the new album. Most stand out tracks to me are My Body Is A Cage, Black Mirror and The Well And The Lighthouse.

I got Funeral summer 06, I couldn't believe I hadn't heard them before. Neon Bible is simply superb, it's just a shame the touts had a field day on the tickets, why sell 8 at a time?

www.arcadefire.net has some forums and loads of people on there are after one, but you would have to sell at cost ticket price> postage> booking fee

The_Biggles · 8 Mar 2007 at 15:36

Anyone got any thoughts about what to do after the gig Fri? Coming up from Cardiff and have only been to the Locks (Piccadilly station i think?) and dance / warehouse places before in Manc.

Looking for either a decent rock club (indie / rock) or an easy going dance club. No Ritzy's pls

So far Bugged Out! @ Sankys is winning as it's all i know lol

Well it cost me £30 plus postage. Not selling for less.

Its so different to other music out there - brilliant, one of THE albums so far this year

^^^

It always annoys me when people say that, look harder damnit!

TommoUK · 9 Mar 2007 at 00:49

Just got back, it was awesome! There was quite a nice mix of old and new, although I would've liked to hear Wake Up and maybe In The Backseat, they played my favourite songs. Rebellion, Tunnels and Black Wave were all really good fun. I would've liked the gig to be a bit longer but they still belted out a number of songs.

:cool:

Now here's hoping they make an appearance at Leeds fest!
