Mashable! - Early Arcade Fire Footage Turns Up on YouTube

Before winning a Grammy and perplexing the world, Arcade Fire played house parties. Just like you — only, they were actually good.

Pitchfork has just surfaced this clip, which it says comes from 2002, before the band’s first disc, Funeral, came out.

It’s interesting to see a band that has been lauded for its recent innovations — from an HTML5 interactive video that garnered them an MTV OMA nom, to a Vevo livestream at Madison Square Gardens in New York, to a go at Twitter’s @earlybird program (RIP) — in such a stripped-down setting.
