Arcade Fire Biography

Distinctly unique for their use of a large number of musical instruments and enthralling live performances, Montreal-based Arcade Fire initially emerged from an idea invented by Win Butler (born Edwin Farnham Butler III in Texas) as he made up his mind to play music in a band. His first attempt to assemble a solid lineup, however, disappointingly failed, and so was the second one, with only a member named Regine Chassagne who eventually became his wife.

Still eager to try once again, the pair later managed to construct a new formation consisting of Win's younger brother William Butler, Richard Reed Parry and his New International Standards bandmate Tim Kingsburry by summer 2003. After adding one more member named Howard Bilerman on drums following a meeting at Hotel 2 Tango studio, Arcade Fire immediately embarked on recording process for their first effort with the older Butler as lead vocalist and the other four handling multi instruments.
