Arcade Fire win Brit Awards for International Act and Album
Arcade Fire walked away with two gongs at tonight's (February 15) Brit Awards 2011.
The Canadian band first scooped the International Album prize for 'The Suburbs', beating off competition from Eminem, Kings Of Leon, Cee Lo Green and Katy Perry at the London O2 Arena ceremony.
After accepting the prize from former tennis player and commentator Boris Becker, frontman Win Butler referenced their surprise win by asking to speak directly to the TV cameras and telling viewers to "check it [the album] out on Google".
He went on to thank the British acts who "changed our lives", including New Order, David Bowie, Culture Club, The Clash, Depeche Mode and The Smiths.
Later on in the ceremony the band collected the prize for International Act before performing 'Ready To Start'.
