Arcade Fire‘s latest CD, the Suburbs debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. On Wednesday night they played KeyArena, the largest venue in Seattle. It’s not every day that a band often described as indie sees this type of success, perhaps this indicates a swing in popular tastes. Tucson’s Calexico opened the show – by the way, I want this shirt.
Please enjoy some photos from the evening by Alex Crick:

I wish I had a bear on whose shoulders I could rest at shows. The Flaming Lips‘ Wayne Coyne does have this bear I speak of and I am just a little jealous – well okay it’s someone in a bear suit – but I won’t let that ruin my joy over these photos. Coyne’s also got a giant hamster ball to roll around in, and that looks pretty awesome too. Here’s some magical photographic evidence by Alex Crick of the Flaming Lips’ Paramount show:
New York duo Matt and Kim headlined at the Showbox on Tuesday evening. The band’s third album, Sidewalks is slated for a November 2010 release. Mark it on your calendar. They were joined by Fang Island and Seattle’s Champagne Champagne, and Alex Crick worked so hard this week taking photos this week. Three shows in a row – thank you, Alex!
