Arcade Fire Talk Origin, Drugs and Love on 'CBS Sunday Morning' [WATCH]

Arcade Fire got the CBS Sunday Morning treatment, talking about their origins, drugs and love, this week, which turned the world's most famous indie rock band into an anonymous group for the nation's curious music noobs.

"I feel like we're just constantly in a posture of introducing ourselves," Win Butler said on the broadcast. "I feel like we've been introducing ourselves for, like, 15 years: 'Ooh, we're from Montreal. We do this, we do that ...' I wonder at what point we don't have to keep introducing ourselves?"

There is usually value in such a feature, though. While the origins of the band are well-known by fans, it's still fun to look back with the group.

"I had nothing going on, and she had lots of stuff going on," Butler said of his wife and bandmate Regine Chassagne, whom he met at Montreal's McGill University in 2001.

Chassagne was playing shopping malls with a medieval band at the time.

"I also sang jazz in a grocery store opening, which was pretty funny at 8 a.m.," she added.

The pair soon moved in together.

"I first saw this building, Regine was living around the corner, and it was a bar. And I saw the 'for rent' sign and figured you could make noise 'cause it was above a bar," Butler said.

Another interesting part was when Butler talked about the band's longevity and related lack of drug use.

"Well, we've also never had drugs in our band," he said. "You know, there's a lot of pitfalls. We've all read the rock biographies!

"To be honest, I always found it so boring. I have no interest in that. In fact, I find it embarrassing, like, some old rocker who is like, 'Yeah, groupies.' I actually find it embarrassing, you know?"
