Jag Elsker Dag, Jens Lekman

Last night I was fortunate enough to attends Jens Lekman's concert in San Francisco with George and his visiting friend Paddy.

A group called Throw Me the Statue opened, and other than a few songs, I didn't care that much for them.

Throw Me the Statue, "About to Walk" - one of their good songs:

They played about six songs, then it was time for Jens, who is surprisingly more attractive, likeable, and less awkward in person (despite a story about how he once took a vow of silence, "Little Miss Sunshine" style, I imagine). Also, if you've ever listened to his music, it's no surprise that he likes the ladies. Of course, he would have to have an all-girl back-up band: accordian, trumpet, sax, violins, drums, bass...

Afterward, Bimbo's 365 Club, which is a pretty swanky joint, busted out the disco ball and started a dance party. I really wanted to stay, but I was just with the wrong company, I guess.

I miss SLO.
