Biography
Arcade Fire met four years ago when lead singer Win Butler posted an ad in his local paper. He wanted to start a band, but didn't know any musically talented friends. Régine Chassagne was the first to answer the ad and Win was so blown away by her violin skills that he asked her to join almost immediately. Soon after, fellow members Richard Reed Parry, Tim Kingsbury, Sarah Neufeld and Jeremy Gara came on board. They got to work on developing their style and two short years later, their debut album Funeral was released to the world. It has since gone on to become a massive critical success, bagging seven music awards and sixteen nominations. The band have now gone back to the drawing board, working on their second album, hoping to top the success of Funeral.

When asked how they achieved such success, Win Butler said "I don't really know. It's kind of confusing. It still doesn't make sense to me how we got it so right on our first album, because as I was working on it I wasn't sure if anybody was going to like it at all. It was kind of a new sound that not many people had heard before, so it could easily have been a huge flop. Fortunately, we developed a strong fan base and the response we've had has been fantastic. I'm happy we can keep making music, because that's all I've wanted to do."
