Arcade Fire recently did a live acoustic version of The Clash's Guns of Brixton
on BBC 2 Culture show {UK}. The gurdy was more evident on this track than on
their album tracks. It was a good version.

I've been hearing a lot about this band called Arcade
Fire. When I play nowadays, people come up and say
"Cool, a hurdy gurdy, just like in Arcade Fire! Man, I
love that band." The freaky thing is, this is an
actual popular band, well covered in the popular press
and all that. They reviews always mention the
creative, unique instrumentation, including bizarre
instruments like a mandolin and a hg.
So I went to their webpage, which was so flashy it was
unnavigable, so I went to their myspace page, which
had actual sound samples. They sound pretty much like
any other rock/pop band to me. Am I missing something
here? Which track contains the hurdy gurdy? Can anyone
confirm this as a hg sighting, or is this band just
claiming to play hg in an attempt to seem cool?
