10 Rock Music Bands With Unique Selling Points
10. A Revolving Line-Up - Arcade Fire
Good luck trying to figure out exactly who does what in the band Arcade Fire, because they do not make that easy to work out.
Hailing from the wild lands of Canada, Arcade Fire helped spearhead the indie rock craze of the early 2000s with their first two albums, Funeral and Neon Bible. The success of these studio releases allowed the band to mount several successful tours, which is where they established their best-known practice.
Lead vocalist Win Butler, the only remaining original member, is joined on stage by an army of performers; some formal members, others touring musicians.
The band are constantly moving around, changing instruments from song to song. Butler himself plays guitar, piano, keyboards, bass, and the mandolin, whilst other weapons in their arsenal include the accordion, concertina, panpipes, and several other things you probably haven't even heard of.
This revolving door system not only keeps things fresh, as audiences are never sure who they're going to see play what at any given time, but it also showcases how talented every member of the group is.
Honestly, most people would kill to play one instrument to a professional level, let alone several.
