I'm from barcelona, a Swede band brought up to light in 2006, is a mix of Light Rock and Indie/Chamber Pop. After a first debut in 2005 when Emanuel Lundgren (the mentor of the project) asked all his friends (all non-professional musicians) to help him recording a first EP in his house and in some public places nearby Jonkoping, Sweden. 29 people formed then I'm from Barcelona. The first album "Let me introduce my Friends" has a little bit of everything from songs about Oversleeping, Chicken Pox and Stamp collections, lots of Glockenspiel and even a vocal choir. A Brilliant pop record. Inspirations come from Broken Social Scene being less experimental, Sufjan Stevens without his melancholic touch and The Flamming Lips without their drug recalls.

All i all, have no doubt about it, I'm from Barcelona, is (most probably) by far the best 29-member Swedish band you will ever know.

Curiosity 1: "I'm from Barcelona!" comes from the sentence often said by Manuel, excusing himself about his incompetence in the British Sitcom Fawlty Towers.

Curiosity 2: It's (somewhat) difficult to schedule concerts of IFB because of the availability of all (29) band members. Today (11-May-2007) they're going to be in the Alpheus Club in Rome. I'm there!
