    Several songs from Wilco's Summerteeth album. Yet another reason to get a great album.

    Isn't that a Mellotron instead of violin???

    Nearly everything by The Levellers

    Never mind about the violin, the bird cage is the new instrument. Thanks to My Morning Jacket.

    Bands that included violin and not the bird cage, or Arcade Fire are:-

    1. Yellow Card - great rock violin. The violinist in this band plays it like a guitar. Brilliant stuff.

    2. Dusty Rhodes - they were mainly country. Their 'First You Live' album houses plenty of punk attitude.

    3. Gordo Bordillo - plenty of Ukrainian Polka, but also having a strong punk attitude.

    4. Camper Van Beethoven - they did any music including Chinese, Mexican, Country, Punk, Progressive rock and Metal. Mainly they featured on World and alternative college music.
    Jonathan Segel who played violin for this band is also found on the Artichoke Project, Victor Krummenacher's Patriarch's Blues and his own records concentrating on rock and electronica.

    There's a couple songs with it on the newest Raconteurs album, I remember Old Enough had it, I dunno if any other ones had it.

    Gogol Bordello has a violinist. Here's "Start Wearing Purple":

    At ACL Fest in September it seemed like every other band had a chick playing violin, including David Byrne and Foo Fighters.
