The band began promoting their forthcoming release in late September with an appearance on Saturday Night Live, where the heavily made-up Montrealers played Reflektors disco-inflected eponymous cut and a moody, new-wave-y track called Afterlife. That night, the group premiered a star-studded NBC special, Arcade Fire in Here Comes the Night Time, directed by Roman Coppola, which featured the Reflektor cuts Here Comes the Night Time, We Exist and Normal Person amid cameos by Zach Galifianakis, Bono, Ben Stiller, Aziz Ansari, Michael Cera and more. The group filmed the special in Montreal for about 100 lucky fans (give or take a celeb) last September at a gig they put on under the nom-de-rock the Reflektors.
The group has also booked a series of upcoming shows using the the Reflektors name in Brooklyn, Miami and Los Angeles. Arcade Fire will also appear at Neil Youngs Bridge School Benefit in Mountain View, California, alongside Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young,Tom Waits,Queens of the Stone Age, Jack Johnson andElvis Costello.
