Exclusive: Arcade Fire to Play "Saturday Night Live"
"Saturday Night Live"'s love affair with indie rock this season will continue on February 24, when the Arcade Fire will be the musical guest on the popular sketch-comedy show. Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight Schrute from "The Office", will be the host.
Richard Reed Parry and Rainn Wilson in the same room at the same time...wow. Can Jon Heder make a cameo? Please?
As you may or may not know, the Arcade Fire have a little album coming out on March 6 on Merge Records. It's called Neon Bible. They're currently in the middle of a five-night stand at New York City's Judson Memorial Church. You can hear the last night of it on NPR. And then you can see them on tour.
