<\/a>Three revered names in indie pop made their presences known before a simple light display akin to a cross between an electrocardiogram and a music staff. You have the\u00a0sharply dressed bassist Bj\u00f6rn Yttling donning a blazer, while drummer John Eriksson took his seat behind the kit, standing out in a simple white baseball cap. Finally, lead singer and guitarist Peter Mor\u00e9n positions himself at the other end of the stage in what resembles a utility suit. All three are unified in their look with an array of the band’s patches on their navy blue outfits, as well as name tags \u00a0\u2013 you know, in case you forgot who you were there to see.<\/p>\n
Mor\u00e9n quipped that back in 2000, they signed a contract stating that if anyone left the band, they had to replace him with somebody of the same name. Fast forward sixteen years and seven records later, and Peter Bjorn and John are back with an even more danceable new sound that challenges the classic definition of pop music and conveys no less energy in the live show.<\/p>\n
Peter jumped over the barrier of the pit early on to walk around the crowd during “It Don’t Move Me,” for a rock ‘n’ roll display \u2013 “I’m not a big fan of rock,” he says. \u00a0“Rock ‘n’ roll, on the other hand, it’s kinda sexy.” \u2013 which set the tone for the etiquette of the evening: dance with complete disregard for the space around you, and don’t stop moving.<\/p>\n While this tour spotlights the most infectious pop tracks\u00a0off the new record, Breakin’ Point<\/em>,\u00a0a taste of each of their previous records worked seamlessly into the mix: \u00a0a performance of “Eyes” that highlighted Bjorn’s talent on bass,\u00a0Peter guiding the crowd through a singalong of “Dig A Little Deeper,” and John’s command over the slowed down breakbeat of “Amsterdam,” which brought back memories for both me and the girl behind me, who said that “every song from 2007 just flashed in [\/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][her] mind.”<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
