Peter, Bjorn and John Roll Call

[Jaguar]

Scandanavian bands are now the new Indie....
 
 ....or something like that.
 
 And that song, "Young Folks", is catchy as Hell!

[Staralfur25]

I had to work!     I had my tickets...how was the show.

[brennser]

I thought all 3 bands were good. Au Revoir Simone did well in front of a sparse crowd, Fujiya and Miyagi laid down a solid groove and Peter Bjorn and John were very good.
 
 You could tell that alot of the crowd were just there to hear Young Folks and the amount of chatter during some of the acoustic songs was disgraceful. But slowly, the band and the crowd started to get into it and PBJ started to bring the RAWK. I'd guess on a 60-70 minutes main set followed by a 4/5 song encore including (I think) a Concretes cover and a Television Personalities cover.

 they shouldn't use the backing track-they sound better without it.

Great job DJing last night! Are you going to post your setlists later? I walked in when you were playing [ingenting] and I knew it would be a good night.

glad you enjoyed it! setlist just went up

[miss pretentious]

that was a great show and the setlist was nice as well.
 
 my only complaint is that the crowd didn't seem to get into PBJ as much as i was...i guess everyone expected them to play 'young folks' for an hour. ugh.

Maybe they should have had Grey's Anatomy playing on the big screen.

Hipsters in other cities dance.  Really, they do.

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

More like idiots dance. Idiots that want the show to be about them, rather than the band. I have to hand it to the idiots, they're always good for some laughs.

[nkotb]

Look, I think this whole "DC Doesn't Dance but every other city in the free world does!" routine is getting old too.  Let's be honest; if everyone that bitched about no dancing actually danced, the crowds would probably seem a lot livelier.
 
 But saying that every that dances is an idiot?  That's just your barely-contained curmudgeon talking, I hope.

Ok, how about LOOKS LIKE an idiot? The nominal dance skills I've seen on display at the Cat, the the 9:30 and other indie purveying venues give new meaning to the word "dancing."
 
 Not that there's anything wrong with looking like an idiot. Many of us do it daily.
