The Grammys are inching towards the indie world or maybe the Arcade Fire and The Black Keys aren’t indie bands anymore because both have taken out gongs at the Grammy Awards held in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Arcade Fire picked up the Album of the Year, while The Black Keys were handed the Alternative Album of the Year award.
