The Arcade Fire and Superchunk kept the car running after Thursday's big Barack Obama rally in Greensboro, North Carolina and rolled right into nearby Carrboro's Town Commons yesterday afternoon for round two. The state's Obama faithful, who'll cast their votes in the NC Democratic primary on May 6, were treated to yet another rousing Arcade Fire cover of David Bowie's "Heroes", all manner of on- and off-stage acrobatics, and even a cameo from some adorable youngsters during Superchunk's set. "This is the future of America!" the band proclaimed. It's a shame they can't vote.
