Around "Settle Down" in seven example line-ups: let's talk about Kimbra crowding up the stage.
SOLO
Kimbra looping "Settle Down" live at 303 (Northcote, Melbourne) in 2009.
It's worth checking out this early version of the song, performed one year before at the same place.

QUARTET
Kimbra with Timon, Stevie and Ben performing "Settle Down" in July 2012 at the "107.7 The End" studio, an alternative rock radio station in Seattle.
One of the guys behind the camera, Mat Hayward, wrote: 'she could release the song A capella and I would love it just as much, if not more!'. Well, in fact he had already heard it A capella, as he explained here.

SEXTET
OK, this is a little tricky. Not a true sextet but a virtual ensemble of six Kimbras or more, and only at certain moments...
This weareus.co.uk video for NOWNESS.com consists of a visual recreation in post-production made from a single take of a live solo performance of "Settle Down".

SEPTET
Two outlandish backup singers joined temporarily the band during the Australian Tour of May 2012. They were also on stage when Kimbra stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! (ABC) in Los Angeles on 23 May 2012, as we can see in this video.
"Settle Down" performed live at Enmore Theatre (Sydney) on 17 May 2012 here.
