There are two bands called Barcelona: a currently inactive indie/new wave/pop band from Arlington, Virginia and a Seattle-based alternative pop/rock band.

The indie electronic band Barcelona (1998-2002):

Barcelona was an indie/new wave/pop band from Arlington, Virginia consisting of Jason Korzen, Jennifer Carr, Ivan Ramiscal, and Christian Scanniello. The band addressed geeky themes in many of their songs, such as “The Downside of Computer Camp”, “I Have the Password to Your Shell Account”, and “Paging System Operator”, about a boy who contacts someone in Sweden whom he believes to be an experienced cracker, using a BBS, only to find he is also a thirteen-year-old.

1998: Formation
Barcelona was formed in 1998 by Korzen and Carr. The pair recruited Ramiscal and Scanniello and began writing and performing original songs that year. Later that year, the group met producer/engineer Trevor Kampmann (also known as Trevor hollAnd) and began work on their first LP, Simon BASIC, which included the single Why Do You Have So Much Fun Without Me?

1999: Simon Basic
The band signed to March Records in early 1999 and released Simon BASIC on that label in June 1999. In the fall of 1999, they embarked on their first tour, mainly on the East Coast, but also including Chicago. The band performed to indie rock fans at places like MIT. The album takes its name from the Simons’ BASIC programming language, developed for the Commodore 64.

fmac, the band originally named Barcelona produced four albums from 1998 to 2001, with songs largely about various aspects of computer-related geekery. Hence the tag... The complete info is in the biography section. The tags on LastFM aren't as much as a problem as the site's failure to distinguish between performers and groups with identical names...
