What are you guys doing this Thursday night? Do you want to see the sold out Peter Bjorn and John show at the Roxy? This is my favorite new band. They're three Swedes who play ultra-hummable indie pop along the lines of Camera Obscura, Belle & Sebastian and New Pornographers (you get the drift). Their most recent album (which is actually their third) finally gets released domestically on February 6th on Almost Gold Recordings. It includes a special bonus disc for all the people (like me) who bought the import version last year. Watch them tonight on the Conan O'Brien show. Download "Young Folks" (courtesy of Pitchfork)
Go check out the Roxy's Myspace page for details on their upcoming shows. Upcoming shows include: the Ringside (Balthazar Getty's band - the All Music Guide really likes them) with Mumiy Troll (you don't see too many Russian bands) on 2/8; IMA Robot on 2/15 and the Mother Hips on 4/13.
Who is the female voice on PB&J's "Young Folks" and what band did she form in the mid-1990's? The first person to email (dukeufo @ hotmail . com - no spaces) with the correct answer will win a pair of tickets to the show.
