As the band rolled into Toronto this weekend to appear on the 40th anniversary Juno Awards, frontman Win Butler talked about the group's reaction when their name was called. "We were just totally shocked," he told TheStar.com. "It was definitely a shocker. It was a pretty fun experience to go through with your friends who you've been playing music with for a long time. It was just genuinely shocking. You don't get shocked that many times in life, so it was kind of fun to be shocked on national television." more on this story
