Three Grammy noms for Arcade Fire
It’s like a coming out party… Arcade Fire has arrived with the news of three Grammy nominations for 2011!
The Indie phenoms earned nods in the all-important Album of the Year category for their latest release, The Suburbs, which also receive a nom for Best Alternative Album. They were also named in the category Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group (for “Ready to Start”).
Album of the Year is a tough category to win, with the band going up against the likes of Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Eminem, and Lady Antebellum. All of these acts earned multiple Grammy nominations, so Arcade Fire is definitely the underdog here. In the Best Alternative Album class, the competition is more familiar, and obviously, less mainstream, but no less successful: Broken Bells, Vampire Weekend, Band of Horses and the Black Keys.
Who will take home the golden grammophones? Tune in and find out! The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards air on February 13, 2011, at 8pm on CBS. To see the full list of nominations, visit Grammy.com.
