Arcade Fire Happily Independent
. "When we were getting courted in the early days of Funeral, we would get taken to these dinners, and it was just like, 'We'll take the dinner, but who's paying for this?' I guess Led Zeppelin is," Win Butler told Pitchfork. "But, at the end of the day, we were just like, 'Would we be paying for other peoples' dinners?' It's such a weird thing." Arcade Fire have had huge success being on an indie label, scoring a #1 record this summer with The Suburbs. But that doesn't mean Butler rejects major labels entirely. "It's certainly not a black-or-white thing," he said. "The Flaming Lips have been on Warner Bros. forever, and certainly everything I heard growing up was on a major label in some way, from The Cure to Radiohead to Bj�rk. It seems like the Internet really threw them for a loop." - Gibson.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase Arcade Fire CDs |
