Arcade Fire - Neon Bible

I was eagerly awaiting this release after loving their debut record (Funeral) and finally got hold of it today. The theme of the album is a lot more worldly but the expected multitude of instruments is still there. I'll have to give it a few more listens before forming a definate opinion but first impressions are very good.

Anyone else listened to it?

I'll get my first listen to their new material when I see them in concert on Thursday night, adi.

Bloody hell. I need to know people like you I think because I never know when these sort of tickets are availalble. Are they doing a UK tour?

They're doing a small UK tour, but the tickets sold out in minutes. I was one of the lucky ones.

I will make an effort to pass on concert information as fast as I can get it.

I had a look around after this post and signed up to the Ticketmaster email notification service for a few bands I like. Not sure how good that is but they say they'll email you in advance if any bands are playing in your area.

They're pretty good, e-mail weekly but only cover what's happening in your local area if I remember correctly.

How local is local I wonder?

**Earl** · 08-03-2007, 13:52

Well when I get their e-mails they tend to just cover the Manchester area. That's fine but sometimes bands tour and don't come to Mancheter.

**adi** · 08-03-2007, 13:56

Exactly. Bands never come to the Island, except for the Festival and Bestival so I'm hoping they include Southampton/Portsmouth etc.

Oh yeah, I forgot you were from the Isle of Wight. I think it goes off your postcode, so I'm guessing you'll be OK with stuff from Portsmouth and Southampton.
