Scotland recently succeeded in cultivating a lot of interesting bands which are recognized worldwide. One of those bands is undoubtedly Belle & Sebastian who, after years of playing and performing songs, grouped thousands and thousands of fans around the world.
The band, one of the most important of indie pop panorama around the world, was born in Glasgow on 1996 and its current members are Stuart Murdoch, vocals, guitar and keyboards, Stevie Jackson, who also sings and is second guitar, keyboards Chris Geddes, Sarah Martin on violin and vocals, Mick Cooke on trumpet and bass, Bobby Kildea on bass and guitar and Richard Colburn on drums (some time ago Isobel Campbell and Stuart David left the band).
Belle & Sebastian´s name was born from a children´s book (later adapted to the animated television format) written by the French Cécile Aubry. This book tells the story of a boy named Sébastien and his dog Belle.
The band was able, through their nine studio productions, to make their followers have an almost religious fanaticism and many critics compare this fan madness with The Smiths’, the group led by Morrissey, in their heyday. This is attributed by many to the fact that until 2003 the band had no singles in their productions. That is why those who followed them did not have a song simply because it appeared on radio, but because they had actually heard their whole discography.
This time the Scottish group will make a presentation in Austria on April 16 at the Gasometer.

For this reason if you not only want to listen to one of the most important indie pop bands of the moment but also one of the bands with most fans you can rent apartments in Vienna and enjoy a great show.
