Barcelona Pavilion formed in 2001 and, in 2002, independently released a two-track CDr, titled The Barcelona Pavilion.[2] They were then signed to Meccico Records and, in 2002, Blocks Recording Club released the EP It's The Barcelona Pavilion!.[2] Some of its five songs received airplay on local radio in 2003,[3] In 2005, they released the four track mini-disk It's Because of the Barcelona Pavilion.[4][5]

The band were described by NOW in 2003 as "the best new band in Toronto",^{[citation needed]} and were strongly associated with the Torontopia scene of the era.[6] That year they also recorded a radio session for BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel.[7]

After disbanding in 2005, the group reunited for a one-off performance as a part of the popular Toronto music series Wavelength's 500th showcase on February 14, 2010.[8]
