Peter Bjorn and John live at Manchester Roadhouse (8th Aug 2006)

I caught Peter Bjorn and John live last night (Tues 8th Aug) at the Manchester Roadhouse - pretty much on the strength of their soon-to-be-massive summer hit ‘Young Folks‘ (and a few tracks on the band’s MySpace). Check out a quick video I shot of them performing ‘Young Folks’ below:

Unfortunately my digital camera couldn’t cope with the bassline, so the sound is all distorted, but you do get to see the lead singer (Peter?) climb up onto the speakers in front of the crowd, and also his laughable attempt at whistling (plus it gives you the chance to see the band in the flesh, rather than in cartoon form!). The Concretes singer Victoria Bergsman wasn’t at the show to perform the duet, so Peter sang both parts

If that’s not made your ears bleed (!), you can alternatively check out the offficial video to the song via YouTube:

Overall the gig was enjoyable, but I’m not sure they’ve got anything in their locker as huge as ‘Young Folks’

Here’s a few pics:
