TONIGHT: PETER BJORN AND JOHN AT THE PARADISE

Published May 04 2007, 05:15 PM by Will Spitz

Don't be scared off by the absurd hype surrounding Peter Bjorn and John. (Yeah, that was a PB&J T-shirt Drew Barrymore was sporting during her last Saturday Night Live hosting gig, and the requisite remixes, by the likes of Diplo, Girl Talk, and Cousin Cole, have been blowing up the Internet for a few minutes now.) The Swedish trio's newest, Writer's Block (Almost Gold), is the real deal -- thoughtful, well-written, catchy-as-shit pop that's dangerously addictive. Both opening bands, Fujiya & Miyagi (a trio of krautrocking Brits, depsite the name) and Au Revoir Simone (Brooklyn's best all-female electro-pop trio named after a line in Pee-wee's Big Adventure), have quite the buzz behind them as well. It's a music-blog-nerd's wet dream at the Paradise tonight.
