Arcade Fire

In November 2007, when Arcade Fire performed "Keep the Car Running" live on the *Friday Night with Jonathan Ross Show*, they were riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album *Neon Bible*, which had been released earlier that year. *Neon Bible* showcased a more mature sound compared to their debut, *Funeral*, and included themes of faith, politics, and personal turmoil, resonating well with a broad audience. The live performance marked a significant moment for the band as they were gaining international recognition, especially in the UK. An interesting fact about this period is that during their rise, Arcade Fire developed a reputation for their dynamic live performances, often incorporating a wide range of instruments and engaging the audience in a unique way. The band’s ability to blend different musical styles also played a crucial role in solidifying their position in the indie rock scene.
