Arcade Fire:Arcade Fire On SNL: “Reflektor,” “Afterlife,” And “Arcade Fire Or New Featured Player”

Recap: 'Saturday Night Live' – Tina Fey and Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire

 They perform last Saturday night, the marvelous performance.
Arcade Fire’s James Murphy-produced double LP Reflektor is just one month away, and tonight the band returned to SNL for their first television appearance (and first live gig outside of those secret Salsathèque shows) in support of the album. Before performing the monstrous new single “Reflektor” with Colin Stetson and Owen Pallett, they appeared in a sketch called “Arcade Fire Or New Featured Player” where host Tina Fey had to distinguish band members from new cast members. (Tina on Win Butler “On the left we got some kind of a hipster Paul Bunyan? Could be a Civil War reenactor, or like a Serbian basketball player.”) For their second song, Arcade Fire debuted “Afterlife.”
