Peter Bjorn and John Secret Show

After attending the Fearless Music television show taping of our good friends Hypernova at Crash Mansion, Luke and David (of The Vanguard) and myself headed to Rockwood Music Hall to see a secret Peter Bjorn and John show. After spending some time talking and name dropping to the pirate of a door man we were allowed inside. I have to admit that I was seriously impressed with the direct manner in which the trio took the stage. Seriously, there was no sound check… unless you count the first song where the guitar was in the wrong key and therefore whoever was on the piano just kind of sat there. Nevertheless with “borrowed” instrument (PB&J’s were already en route to Chicago) the set sounded great. The guys seemed genuinely happy to play for no more the 75 people and actually included some tracks from their first EP. This is confusing because I always thought these types of shows are to promote new albums?! Oh well, here are some pics:
