Empire of the Sun

I'm going to skip ahead to 7:30pm on Sunday. We've got Hayes Carll and Randy Newman for all the traditionalists. I already waxed poetic about Randy Newman. The thing is, I plan to get up close for Arcade Fire so I won't get to see anyone's set to the end. Given that, the band facing the Arcade Fire stage is Empire of the Sun. An Australian duo, their debut album has been a huge success. I hear lots of MGMT with a little Phoenix, Cut Copy, and Temper Trap mixed in. I like it. Check out their video below to see their stage show. Quite outrageous. Should be a good opener for Arcade Fire.

We Are the People

I just got the cd, but haven't listened to it in entirety yet.
