Jens Lekman (Bimbo's, 22 March 2008)

My 31st birthday was the day before this show, so it was nice to have Jens play during my birthday weekend. His show in November was better, but that doesn't mean that this one was bad. It was so much fun! How can anyone not enjoy themselves at a Jens show?

Jens backing band was as huge as before. In fact, the girls in his band are not even from Sweden, unlike last time, but were mostly from....Detroit? Where does he find these girls?

Like November, we were seated in our table at the very rear of the venue. And, like last time, being seated far didn't affect how great this show was. I think the set list was similar to last November's show, but he added some songs in there. Of course, his best songs live are still "Your Arms Around Me," "Shirin," "Black Cab," and "Postcard to Nina."
