Will Arcade Fire tour in Summer 2009?
No. Unfortunately. They are currently working on writing a new album.
In my opinion, Jesse Malin is the best rock musician around these days. He was originally the lead singer/songwriter of the punk band DGeneration. They released two albums in the 1990s, before they broke up: No Lunch (1996) and Through the Darkness (1998).
Those two albums are extremely hard to find, though. They have been two of my favorite albums since I was 16, and by the time I was 22, they were so scratched up that nearly every song skipped. I had to search the internet high and low before I could find an online shop that had them.
You will have a much easier time finding Jesse Malin's solo albums. There are three of them so far, and they are all excellent. Since his time with DGeneration, his music has become less punk, and more sophisticated and complex, but he still rocks just as hard as before. The albums are: the Fine Art of Self-Destruction(2003), the Heat (2004), and Glitter in the Gutter(2007).
Fender are a very classic company. Their models dont change very frequently. The telecaster is a versitle guitar with usually two single coil pickups that give out a country twang or a big alternative crunch. I can find that i can get a very heavy sounding, not metal like, but full. These are not as comfortable as the next guitar, the Stratocaster. They have three single coils and a 3-5 way switch. With this comfortable guitar, you can get many tones for many many genres of music. I would say if you go for alternative and also like to play some other genres sometimes, the fender strat would be for you. As for ibanez, they are also versitle but are better suited to stay in the rock/metal category. The height on the strings are very low making it easy to play fast and play powerchords but they dont handly regular chords too well. I find that on some the lower frets buzz a bit when playing a chord. But the pickups are humbuckers and are more beefy then that of the fender. Ibanez are also cheaper than the fenders. You can get a very nice and nice playing fender which is bottom of the line for the same price as a almost top of the line ibanez. All in all, it all depends on your price range your in. Cheaper- buy the ibanez, A little more money- go for the fender.

Arcade Fire is a Grammy nominated indie rock band formed in Montreal, Quebec, Canada comprising band members Win Butler, Régine Chassagne, Richard Reed Parry, William Butler, Tim Kingsbury, Sarah Neufeld and Jeremy Gara. Howard Bilerman, who played drums on their debut album, Funeral, has since moved on to other projects. On the 'Funeral' shows the touring band included horn player Pietro Amato and violinist Owen Pallett. Neufeld, Parry, and Amato also play in the instrumental band Bell Orchestre. Pallett, though not listed as a band member on the band's official site, both plays with the band live and, according to Butler, helped with the string arrangements for their second album, Neon Bible. Other members of the touring band are Marika Anthony-Shaw, a violist who played on Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light with Bell Orchestre, as well as horn players Colin Stetson and Kelly Pratt, who bring the Neon Bible touring band to ten on-stage members.
The name comes from an urban legend Win Butler was told by fellow students while at school. According to the story, the local arcade had burned down killing the dozens of children trapped inside. Butler later discovered that nobody had been hurt in the fire, but at the time he believed the story as it had been told.
