SXSW Film, Music and Interactive Media Festival March 13, 2007

Over a week of fantastic concerts, film premieres and talks by media stars and industry leaders. Peter Bjorn & John are Peter Moren, Bjorn Yttling and John Eriksson. Formed in Stockholm in 1999, the trio is influenced by the sounds of classic '60s baroque pop, power pop, and new wave. Not considered as revivalists, Peter, Bjorn and John are cited as creating some of the most exciting and original indie rock of the mid-2000s. Like a twenty-first century John Martyn, Fink's insistent songs are flushed with bruised basslines and skinny blues licks. Immersed in a very personal labour of love, the brooding Bristol-bred, Brighton-based artist has written, produced and performed a striking, stripped-down symphony of an album.
