Arcade Fire returned to our ear buds with new music last week, after four years of studio silence. The arrival of Everything Now was celebrated with an intimate club show in Brooklyn, New York last week, which invited guests to attend with a required dress code that caused some controversy pre-show. The show went on, after the band announced “you can wear anything,” and it was glorious.

Last night, Arcade Fire stopped by the Late Show with Stephen Colbert to perform “Everything Now” and “Creature Comfort.” Their performance began with a pretend infomercial promoting a pretend corporation called “Everything Now,” to continue their anti-consumerism themes from the album. See both performances below:

Prior to the show, Stephen Colbert and his crew shared a mock rider from the band on their social media accounts, which hilariously pokes fun at the rockers for making absurd requests of their fans at the private release show. At least one of the requests, that Stephen Colbert keep a can of Chemistry energy drink on his desk throughout the taping, was followed through on. Check out their post below, and see Arcade Fire’s initial dress code requirements from last week.
