Eddie Argos and his band Art Brut were recently given a tour of DC Comics headquarters.

Thanks to the track “DC Comics and Chocolate Milkshakes” from the British outfit’s latest slab of wax, Art Brut vs. Satan, Argos and the band were recently given an extensive tour of the coveted DC Comics headquarters in New York City.

The trip was arranged by Under the Radar, the magazine where Argos has regularly professed his love for DC Comics in his column.
