By now, you've probably heard of Arcade Fire.

Correction: I hope you've heard of Arcade Fire. My faith in humanity wants me to believe that you don't still think the phenom is all about setting a slew of Pac-Man coin-operated entertainment machines ablaze.

But you must know about their huge night at the Grammys, at the very least. For an indie band like Arcade Fire to steal the Album of the Year award is practically unheard of. Picture it — the best album of the year, actually winning Album of the Year? Sacrebleu!

But we Arcade Fire fans are nonplussed.

In fact, nothing about Arcade Fire particularly shocks us fans. Not even when they usually completely skip their hometown — ahem, The Woodlands — when they go on tour.

Until they set a date in the Houston area for a show, that is. (Yes, CultureMap reported on this Feb. 19, but the excitement is still building.)

Sure, Arcade Fire's last album seemed to be almost entirely about our favorite suburb to the north, The Woodlands — where lead singer Win Butler grew up — but we never expected the band to really play in The Woodlands.

Hell, Arcade Fire has shunned Houston since 2005. We fans were already booking tickets to Chicago and gearing up for a Jazz Fest road trip in order to catch them this touring season.

We're used to going out of our way for the band we love, even when the band refuses to come out of its way to us.

And then, these pioneers of artful rock did the unexpected. The band booked a show in our town — Win's hometown.

You did it, Win. You really, really did it.

The moment we die hard Houston fans have been waiting for — our very own show.

Tickets for the May 4 show at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion go on sale this Friday. And I will fight you fairweather fans and recent Grammys bandwagoners for them.
