Fanfarlo

Originally started by Swedish musician, Simon Balthazar and Giles D Davis in 2006, Fanfarlo is a London-based indie pop group that can be described in a word, interesting. Their style, sound, videos, and look have a very interesting, stylish, and edgy feel. They combine indie, folk, and post-punk sounds using their vast instrumental skills. Among the instruments used in the group are the trumpet, violin, mandolin, musical saw, and clarinet. Fanfarlo got their name from the Charles Baudelaire novella, La Fanfarlo, and consists of Amos Memon (vocals, drums, percussion), Cathy Lucas (violin, keys, mandolin, glockenspiel, vocals, musical saw), Justin Finch (bass, vocals), Leon Beckenham (trumpet, keyboards, glockenspiel, melodica, vocals), and Simon Balthazar (vocals, guitar, keyboards, mandolin, saxophone, clarinet). Quite a combination of instruments, eh? Seeing Fanfarlo perform their catchy songs will definitely be a sight if they've brought all their instruments along! They will be performing at Coachella 2012 on Sunday, April 15th and 22nd!
