parody in tune
No one does a better parody of middle America evangelism than the Arcade Fire. Well actually, maybe Stephen Colbert does, but we’re not counting him here.
I got to see this fine band with my friend Christian a few nights ago, and we both were impressed with their insane sound and stage presence. It was for their recent album, Neon Bible … which I must say I got impressed with quite surprisingly.
Only the French Canadians would be bold enough to make fun of the iconic fundamentalist view on religion that can come out of the American bible belt. It made me in awe to see them show footage from a female evangelist in the opening moments of the show, which show her discussing God mixed in with dialog regarding getting an enema.
These photos just gives you a sense of their set up on stage. (Though it’s not actually at the Greek - because Leylabot couldn’t afford the expensive pit tickets required to take those nice pictures).
