Watch: Arcade Fire live at Hackney Empire
JoeDiddly by Luke Slater August 31st, 2010

How many Arcade Fire videos have there been in the last few days? A lot, that's how many. Here's another, by the way, and if not the best of the lot, it's still actually quite decent. It's of the band performing at Hackney Empire the other week. The track in question is 'Ready To Start', which is taken from their current Long Player, The Suburbs.

Of course, we sent one of our number along to review it. Read what Andrzej Lukowski thought of matters here. The other Arcade Fire video which has 'hit headlines' this week is the ol' HTML5 one for 'We Used To Wait'. You can check it out here. I won't give too much away if you haven't indulged before, but oh it's worth it. Also, if you are..at all particularly curious, The Drums covered 'We Used To Wait' quite recently. Click here for that.

Win Butler and friends also recently revealed some arena dates in the UK. Here they are:

December:
1 - London, O2 Arena
8 - Birmingham, LG Arena
9 - Cardiff, Arena
11 - Manchester, Central
12 - Glasgow, SECC
