Arcade Fire rocking hotel Oloffson in Haiti video

Arcade Fire may have stolen the spotlight at year's Grammys (and most recently, Canada's Juno Awards), but the indie rockers have never forgotten their roots.

On Tuesday (Mar. 29), the band played a brief secret show in Haiti -- a country near to the members' hearts, given their charitable contributions to Earthquake relief there as well as singer Régine Chassagne's Haitian ancestry.

In the intimate, impromptu performance at Port-au-Prince's Hotel Oloffson, Arcade Fire ripped into a wide variety of covers, reportedly including:Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Who'll Stop The Rain," and the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time." Of course, the Canadian group also played favorites from its three albums, including the Chassagne-led "Haiti" from the band's 2004 debut. Watch the rousing performance below.
