The Arcade Fire
The Arcade Fire has been a successful band since their first album Funeral which released in 2004. The band centers around husband and wife Win Butler and Regine Chassagne who started up in Montreal, quebec, Canada. Their use of a wide range of musical instruments including harps, guitars, brass instruments, accordion, and other stringed instruments. Various other members in their group make them a vary large band as there are currently seven members and six touring members that accompany them.
Their origins are truly of the indie kind as they started as a small unknown band giving a few concerts and passing out their famous Us Kids Know EP. With the release of Funeral, the band started to gain more momentum as they became named as the album of the year in 2005, going gold in Canada and in the United Kingdom. Famous tracks like Rebellion (lies) and Haiti plus the famous Neighboorhoods number one through four (Neighboorhood #1 (Tunnels), Neighboorhood #2 (Laika) a personal favorite, Neighboorhood #3 (Power out), and Neighboorhood #4 (7 kettles)) make the album a very unique experience.
The bands new adventure, Neon Bible has a different take on the Arcade Fire’s music as the tracks are self created without any producers. The Arcade Fire, independant and a fresh take on music, continues their success with their new album Neon Bible and other albums to come.
