Dr. J Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 Cool move!Arcade Fire to play for area high schoolChris LacknerThe Ottawa CitizenTuesday, January 16, 2007One of the hottest Canadian bands, the Arcade Fire, are treating Canterbury High School students to an impromptu concert.While the Arcade Fire's upcoming five-night stints in Montreal and New York sold-out within minutes, the indie rock super-group is offering an informal concert at Canterbury's school cafeteria on the evening of Friday, Jan. 19.They are donating their time to support the Canterbury Arts Centre Development Association, a charitable organization that raises arts funding for the Ottawa school.Bandmember Richard Reed Parry, both a guitarist and percussionist with the group, was a 1995 graduate of Canterbury's literary arts program.The Montreal band's critically-acclaimed 2004 album, Funeral, brought them international stardom practically overnight.Their new album, Neon Bible, is set to be released on Mar. 6 and is one of the year's most anticipated releases.The city's pending 15-city European tour has also sold-out nearly all of its dates.Tickets for the Canterbury show are open to students, grads and CACDA members, and can be bought for $25 at school lunch hour today and tomorrow.There are limited tickets remaining and none will be sold at the door.© The Ottawa Citizen 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
