Arcade Fire Plays Small, Secret Show

Arcade Fire debuted a host of new songs in Montreal over the weekend. Playing under the name Les Identiks at the city's Breakglass Studios, they were joined by extra percussionist for the "fun, dancey and groovy" new tracks, while the show was opened with a eight minute long track that apparently had a "punk vibe". The groups' new record is not expected to be released until the second half of next year, and wisely Arcade Fire insisted on a "no phone, video or photo" policy for the 100 strong audience
