'''I'm From Barcelona''' is an indie-pop act from [[Jönköping]], [[Sweden]], best known for its 29 band members and eclectic mix of instruments such as clarinets, saxophones, flutes, trumpets, banjos, accordions, kazoos, guitars, drums, and keyboards among others. While most band members provide backing vocals on releases and during live performances, [[Emanuel Lundgren]] is founder, principal songwriter and lead singer for the group. |
|||
In [[2006]] the band released an EP entitled ''Don't Give Up on Your Dreams, Buddy!'' as well as a full length album, ''Let Me Introduce My Friends'' - both of which were well received critically. |
|||
== History == |
|||
Sometime in 2005 [[Emanuel Lundgren]] wrote several songs and gathered his friends to record them. Weeks later, a homemade EP was completed and a one-time live show featuring all 29 band members was performed in August 2005. |
|||
The end was not near for '''I'm From Barcelona''', however, as the Swedish media and bloggers around the world started buzzing about the band. [[EMI]] [[Sweden]] signed the band and [[Dolores Recordings]] released the EP ''Don´t Give Up On Your Dreams, Buddy!'' on 15 February 2006 featuring the bands first hit "We’re From Barcelona," named as a homage to Manuel, a character on [[BBC Television]]'s ''[[Fawlty Towers]]''’ ("He’s from Barcelona, sí?"). Their debut full-length, entitled ''Let Me Introduce My Friends,'' was released on 26 April 2006 in Sweeden, with international releases to follow including an EMI UK release on 11 September 2006. |
