Even if you're not familiar with the name Peter, Bjorn and John, you've probably heard their breakout single 'Young Folks', which was everywhere a few years ago. They've been working hard since then, putting out another couple of albums, the most recent of which is this year's 'Gimme Some'. Pitchfork has this neat video of the entire album, accompanied by some cool sped-up visuals of the band playing live. Well worth a look, though it's refusing to embed here. I'm sure their show will feature singalongs, grooves, and of course, the crowd going mental when the whistling begins. They're being supported by a band called Dinosaur Feathers, about whom I don't know anything, other than they recently wrote a song about George R.R. Martin, and that's pretty cool.
