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 Salsath que 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. We ll post the video here when it appears.
A half hour Arcade Fire concert special called Here Comes The Night Time airs after tonight s SNL premiere at 1AM EST on NBC. (UPDATE The special featured the debuts of Here Comes The Night Time We Exist and Normal Person. James Franco Rainn Wilson Bono Ben Stiller Michael Cera Bill Hader Zach Galifianakis Eric Wareheim and Aziz Ansari made cameos.)
Reflektor is out 10/29 via Merge.
