Friday night, I headed over to the ambiguous area between Park Slope and Gowanus to see a rare and intimate gig with Sweden’s Peter Bjorn & John at The Rock Shop.
Now besides the fact that it was taking place in a room with a capacity of 120, this wasn’t your normal PB&J gig, there was no ‘Young Folks,’ no ‘Amsterdam.’ Instead, the trio played the entirety of their new album, Gimme Some, set for release on March 29th. The band have already previewed two tracks from the lp, ‘Second Chance’ (available after the jump) and ‘Breaker Breaker’ (video below), both of which are wonderful and infectious but hearing the album as a whole, proved that we’re in for another strong album from the band.
