First i went to see Arcade Fire in Hyde Park, London. They had an amazing support line-up. Including Owen Pallett, The Vaccines, Beirut & Mumford & Sons. i hadn't really listened to any of Beirut's stuff before but i loved their stuff. The lead singer's voice is a bit whiney but the trumpets and ukulele won me over. Mumford & Sons have always had a special place in my heart and have inspired quite a few of my scrapbook pages. They also performed some new material which is classic Mumford so i'm eagerly anticipating their new album. i'd been wanting to see them live since i first heard Little Lion Man so i was soaking them in.
i've been a long time fan of Arcade Fire and The Suburbs was hands down my favourite album of 2010 & they exceeded all of my expectations. Early on in the set they performed Wake Up and the whole crowd was singing along, it was one of those goosebump kind of moments. There were lots of other special touches which made the gig one of the best i've ever attended.
There was also a cinema playing a 30 minute film directed by Spike Jonze based on The Suburbs Album. Inside there was bunting, balloons and deck chairs + logs for seating. Seriously cute!
i took this picture from the top of the MK Bowl, it probably shows only a third or so of the size of it. The sheer volume of people was incredible.
SO now you can see i've been a little busy lately. i haven't had much time for any scrapping but i hope to remedy that this weekend. Have a great one everybody!
