Biography
Performers who play music in the genre of indie rock is difficult to stand out against the rest of the rest - such is the specificity of the direction. However, Arcade Fire, a group of Canada, managed to find his niche, to interest the listener and the Grammy jury. Their history has not yet been calculated for decades, but the Septhet is confidently moving towards a large anniversary.The history of creation and composition
In the early 2000s, the idea of creating a group was originated in the heads of students Win Batler and Josh Dyu. Their rehearsal base was at the University of McGill, where once the guys met Ridden Shassan. On the events of the past days, Dew recalled in an interview:
"Owin and We were playing guitar. We did not have a material to demonstrate it, but she agreed to join the group. Perhaps there was a spark between her and Owin. "Under the name Arcade Fire, the trio recorded the demo and at the end of 2001 began to perform on the Baram of Montreal. Over time, their composition adds multi-instrumentalists Tim Kales and Brandon Reed, Miles Basist Chalno, guitarist and drummer Dane Mills. True, the group began to fall apart when the time came seriously think about the recording of the debut mini collection.
In the winter of 2003, EP Arcade Fire came out. The presentation of the collection ended the quarrel between the Butler and Reed and the departure of the latter. Following him, Mills left the scene. Instead of them by Arcade Fire participants became William Butler, Brother Win, Tim Kingsbury and Howard Billman. Perhaps from this point on, the history of the creation of Arcade Fire began.
