Arcade Fire news is coming in bits and pieces, but hey, that's better than nothing. Which is what they gave us for quite some time before making a very, very welcome tour announcement last week.

Now, Win Butler, Régine Chassagne, and their crew have added five dates to their previously reported assault on London. And they're all in the Montreal.

The collective will take up residence at their hometown's Ukrainian National Federation from February 6 through 10. After that, maybe they'll disappear back to wherever it is that they hide. Or maybe they'll tour the U.S.? We sure hope so.

And need we remind you that the band's as-of-yet untitled sophomore LP is slated for a spring 2007 release? No? Okay, deal.

As for you folks in England, sorry to say that tickets for all of their London shows sold out in two minutes. Bummer.
