Listen: Arcade Fire Cover Prince’s “Controversy” Live

Performing in Minneapolis

Mar 10, 2014 By Mike Hilleary Arcade Fire

Currently traveling around the U.S. supporting their new album Reflektor, Arcade Fire stopped in the city of Minneapolis this past weekend. In a fitting nod to Minnesota’s native musical hero, the group wound up delivering a cover of Prince’s 1981 classic “Controversy.” During the performance Win Butler wore a box over his head displaying Prince’s face—eventually switching to that of congresswoman Michele Bachmann.
