Arcade Fire win Brits (Bieber too), acknowledge meme

Brits

To quote Gothamist:

Following the Arcade Fire‘s win at the Grammys, it seemed like half the nation was asking: Who Is Arcade Fire? What started off as a post on BrooklynVegan, grew into its own Tumblr account, and by last night the band themselves caught wind of the meme. At the Brit Awards–while accepting one of their awards (they took home trophies for Best International Album and Best International Group)–Win Butler said, “We’re called Arcade Fire–check it out on Google.”
