Arcade Fire - Personnel

Personnel

In addition to founders Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, members include Richard Reed Parry, William Butler, Tim Kingsbury, Sarah Neufeld and Jeremy Gara. Touring lineups have included Marika Anthony-Shaw, Colin Stetson, Kelly Pratt, Owen Pallett, Pietro Amato and Alex McMaster.

Howard Bilerman, who played drums on Funeral, has since moved on to other projects. During the Funeral shows, the touring band included horn player Pietro Amato, violinist Owen Pallett, and during the first year cellist Mike Olsen. Neufeld, Parry, and Amato also play in the instrumental band Bell Orchestre. Neufeld and Amato also play in The Luyas. Pallett, though not listed as a band member on the band's official site nor in the album sleeve notes, has been a member of their touring lineup, and, according to the album sleeve notes, co-wrote the orchestral and string arrangements with Régine Chassagne for both albums. Other members of the touring band are Marika Anthony-Shaw – a violist and former Lindsay Place High School strings teacher who played on Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light with Bell Orchestre and Set Yourself on Fire by Stars – as well as horn players Colin Stetson and Kelly Pratt, who have also played with Beirut. These musicians bring the Neon Bible touring band to ten onstage members, much like the first Funeral lineup. The tour lineup for The Suburbs had only one extra touring member, Marika Anthony-Shaw, with cellist Alex McMaster joining them at the 2011 Juno Awards, along with Owen Pallett, who also joined them for their Saturday Night Live appearance and their June 30, 2011 concert at Hyde Park alongside The Vaccines and Beirut.
