Watch Arcade Fire’s Well-dressed, Balaclava-draped Appearance On French TV

Montreal’s Arcade Fire have stopped by French talk show Le Grand Journal to play a short-but-sweet set of cuts from their new album Reflektor.

The (naturally) well-dressed band performed the dark-yet-danceable Afterlife, Reflektor’s shiny title-track, as well as the punk-tinged Joan of Arc, in which frontman Win Butler dons a colourful balaclava/pillowcase thingamajig. Check out all the fun times below.

Arcade Fire will be playing Big Day Out 2014 alongside fellow headliners Blur and Pearl Jam. The group has also announced two January BDO sideshows for Sydney and Melbourne. After their Australian visit the band will embark on a mammoth US tour, lasting from March 2014 through to the end of August.
