They went on hiatus. They're touring in Europe than playing some North American shows. No word if they're going back to the studio, but I assume they will.

Wait, I thought they broke up? They announced their regrouping late last year, but only had festival shows scheduled overseas....until today!

Wait, I thought they broke up? They are just getting back together. I wish I could make that show, but it is quite a distance from me for a one night show. I will just wait a couple of weeks for Sasquatch which is more worth the trip.

I don't know why, but I always feel like no one good ever comes to AZ I really don't want to get into it again with you, Snorlax, but there is a very good reason why no one good ever comes to Arizona. We had this conversation last week (and you got all pissed at me).

Straight-up boycott, Switchy. Spearheaded by Mr. Wrong Kid Died, if I'm not mistaken.
I love how fucking Arcade Fire was so offended by something LiveNation did that they bailed on Sasquatch, but once they had their Grammy in hand they decided to cross the fucking picket line down in Arizona. Assholes.

Out of curiosity, was the LiveNation drama with Afraid Friar ever confirmed or is it still speculation, G-ma?

Totally speculation, but it smacks of truth (and ham).

Either way, they WERE vocal supporters of the Arizona Boycott until someone told them that there's gold in them thar hills.

It wouldn't surprise me if it were true, but because I do consider myself a fan ( I know you're aren't ) I hope it isn't true.
And what's the deal with the Arizona Boycott? I haven't heard about this.

I know about the boycott. I am a WKD fan. How can I not know about the boycott. He wrote a song for the compilation album...."Coyote Song"

No, no - the Sasquatch thing and the Arizona thing are separate. There is a loooong list of bands that is refusing to do shows in AZ until that state repeals its racist, headhunting immigration law, and Arcade Fire was on that list until they got their little gold trophy and then they were like, Fuckit! Arizona people will give us their dollars if we go to Arizona, so let's go to Arizona!
Assuming the Squatch bail isn't JUST speculation (and I'm fairly certain it's legit), I just think the juxtaposition of their lofty morals and sensibilities is downright fucking hilarious:
"What? NO CHEESE TRAY IN OUR TRAILER!? FUCK YOU LIVENATION, WE OUT."
"What? State legislature that allows you to DETAIN A HUMAN BEING BASED ON THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN!? What's the venue like...?"

To be honest, I thought the boycott was ridiculous to begin with. What good does it do? It's the old racist conservative population that allowed something like that to happen, and they don't give a fuck if Marina and the Diamonds aren't coming to town. AF are still bitches for crossing a picket line they helped establish.
