Notes from a small island
A weblog by Jonathan Ali


Saturday, March 12, 2005  

This week's UK Guardian Friday Arts Review has an interview with Win Butler and Regine Chassagne of the Montreal band Arcade Fire, whose debut album, Funeral, was one of the more noteworthy pop releases of 2004. Arcade Fire has a few interesting Caribbean connections: Regine Chassagne is of Haitian parentage--a couple of the songs on Funeral are Haiti-themed--and Chassagne and Butler spent their honeymoon in T&T; they became enamoured of the steelpan, and began incorporating it into the band's fascinating sound.
