Peter Bjorn & John with Born Ruffians and White Rabbits @ The Mercury Lounge

Great concert combining two bands I've been wanting to see for a while. PB&J and Born Ruffians put on an awesome show. Even Drew Barrymore was there (later seen wearing a PB&J shirt on SNL).



It wasn't until the week of the show that I realized one of the most-frequently played songs on my itunes, "This Sentence Will Ruin/Save Your Life," was actually a Born Ruffians song, so needless-to-say, I was very excited to see the band perform live. They played the obligatory "This sentence" and a few other songs off their first EP, but also a great cover of Grizzly Bear's "Knife" and some more of their own gems that are not yet released. It's crazy to think how talented this guys are, given they're barely old enough to drink. It should be interesting to watch the progression of the band in the future and I can't wait for their next album to come out.



Check out Born Ruffians playing "Kurt Vonnegut" and "Knife" live on KEXP and go to iTunes to buy their album.
