Arcade Fire members to play free shows in Ohio for Barack Obama

According to a recent press release Win Butler, Will Butler, Regine Chassagne and Jeremy Gara of the Arcade Fire will be performing a free show this Sunday at Stuart's Opera House in Nelsonville, Ohio in support of Democratic hopeful Barack Obama. They will also be playing another free show at the Beachland Ballroom in Cleveland on Monday. Get there at 7 p.m., or earlier, to experience the Ba-Rock.

I know what you're thinking. "Aren't the Arcade Fire a Canadian band?" Sort of. They live in Canada but were born and raised in the U.S. (Texas), Regine has dual citizenship because her father served in Vietnam, and Jeremy Gara is a full-blooded Canadian. Does any of this matter? No. Just make sure and get down to the venues early, entry is first come, first served.

Do you think Arcade Fire should write a Pro-Bama song?
