I'm From Barcelona Finally Coming To The US!
By Shanon Kelley
Yes, yes, YES! I've been waiting quite a while for the 29 member (!) Swedish ensemble, I'm From Barcelona, to come Stateside. Their infectious pop music is just what the doctor ordered for the summertime, so it's no surprise that their first New York show will be at McCarren Park Pool on August 5th as part of JELLYNYC's Pool Party free concert series. Hooray! High fives all around! If you don't have their debut album, Let Me Introduce You To My Friends, you should definitely get it. Plus, as an added bonus, everyone in the band (including red-haired frontman Emanuel Lundgren) is so darn cute! It must be those crazy Swedish genes...
Here's their video for the lovely song, "We're From Barcelona." You can listen to more at their MySpace page.

Hey N.Y. Doll, I'm also excited about I'm from Barcelona coming to the states, but I must say you're a little bit of a two facer here. I distinctly remember a certain person telling you about this band many moons ago, only to have you turn your nose up at them, responding with the cliche Polyphonic Spree jokes/comparisons. Now look who's leading their band-wagon. Oh the irony.
Regardless, I love the blog, keep up the great work.
