Arcade Fire and Jay-Z are reportedly serenading staff who have worked on US President Barack Obama's campaign at a private gig this afternoon (January 21).
The rap star and the popular Canadian indie rockers are performing at a private party for Obama staffers at the Armory, the day after he was inaugurated as the 44th President of the United States, reports the New York Times.
Arcade Fire have been vocal Obama supporters throughout his campaign, as has Jay-Z, who performed at several Obama inaugural celebrations in Washington DC this week.
