Arcade Fire are the latest musical group to throw their support for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. Last night at Stuart’s Opera House, the Canadian partially American band performed at an Obama rally in Nelsonville, Ohio.

Among songs performed was a cover of Sam Cooke’s “A Change Is Gonna Come.”
