Last night, the Arcade Fire played the fourth of five London shows this week and first of two shows at Porchester Hall. Not everything went according to plan though, it would seem. After the show, the band tried to set up in the foyer of the venue for one of its impromptu performances. However, the security guards present at the show were less than thrilled at the prospect. Here's what went down according to an NME journalist:
"Win appeared first in the foyer attempting to set up his megaphone mic stand next to the merchandise stall. However, three venue security guards tried to dissuade the band from starting up.
"One of guards was literally manhandling Win, who was pretty pissed off and shouted 'Don't fucking touch me' before shrugging off the attention and defiantly placing his mic stand at the bottom of the foyer stairs."
This series of events, as well as the band's ensuing performance of "Wake Up" can be seen in the video below. Unfortunately, the video doesn't include what happened next: Bulter led the band back inside the hall and covered "The Guns of Brixton" by The Clash.
