Written on the way home

What people wrote about nights here

  • A guest 100% for Arcade Fire · Tue, 22 Jun 2004

    Arcade Fire were opening up for the Unicorns. This was right before Funeral came out. There was probably 30 people there and they handed out Blow Pops before they played. They lined up at the front of the stage and started opened with "Wake Up." I had a smile on my face the whole time and left knowing that they would be huge. I've never seen an audience respond so quickly and so positively to a (at the time) unknown band.

There's room to write about it as well - one entry each, added to over the years.
