Just when you thought that Arcade Fire/LCD Soundsystem team-up just couldn't possibly get any better, well, it did. Triumphantly returning Brooklyn art-punkers (and wicked wicked live act) Les Savy Fav have been added to the October 6 show at New York City's Randall's Island. We usually pity any band that has to play after Les Savy Fav, but we think these two can hold their own.

In other Les Savy Fav news, they've recently signed to the London-based Wichita recording concern for all their UK distribution needs. Their chum-heavy Let's Stay Friends will drop in the UK October 1; it's out September 18 on French Kiss in the States. Wichita will also release the double A-side single for "What Would Wolves Do?" / "The Year Before the Year 2000" on September 24. A European tour is in the works for October.
