Wikipedia sez: “Peter Bjorn and John are a Swedish indie rock band, formed in Stockholm in 1999. The current members are Peter Morén on vocals, guitar, and harmonica; Björn Yttling on vocals, bass and keyboards; and John Eriksson on drums, percussion, and vocals. To date they are best known for the 2006 single “Young Folks”, which featured Victoria Bergsman of The Concretes and was a top 40 hit in the UK Singles Chart. It was also named NME’s second best track of 2006, beaten only by “Over and Over” by Hot Chip. In Australia it was voted number 16 in the annual Triple J Hottest 100 for 2006.”

Young Folks was one of those classic summer songs that will be remembered for the ages due to it’s insane levels of catchiness. The rest of their album followed the same trend, with fantastic straight up rock tunes like Detects On My Affection and Roll To Credits or pop friendly songs like Paris 2004. It’s so refreshing to hear them in interviews to, these three guys play music for themselves and if people like it, they consider it a bonus. If they are as good live as their last album was, Peter Bjorn & John will be one act to catch at Coachella.

Likelyhood of Seeing at Coachella: Yes!
