Arcade Fire's Management Responds To Vincent Moon

2:09 p.m. · February 2, 2011 · by Wolcott Katzenbach

In a recent interview with Eye Weekly filmmaker Vincent Moon criticized leading members of Arcade Fire and their management, claiming that they were simply "not good people." Moon worked with the band on their 2008 film Mirror Noire, evidently souring on them basically not being "indie" enough.

In the comments section on Consequence of Sound, Arcade Fire manager Scott Rodger responded to Moon's comments, claiming that Moon has a drug problem and stole the band's camera equipment.

 

Dear Vincent,

 

I’m one of the so called “not good people”. Can we get the camera equipment you stole from the band returned yet? Perhaps if your drug habit could be contained you may actually be able to complete a film. We should have taken advice from our other friends who worked with you who advised us not to. But we thought it would be great. Unfortunately we were wrong. Your move to “art films”, that wouldn’t by any chance be circumstantial as no one is prepared to hire or commission you any more??Telling the truth. It’s not that hard Vincent.?Now can we get our equipment back?

 

thanks

 

Scott

The actual members of Arcade Fire have yet to issue any sort of response. [Aux]
