I secretly dance around the living room to them. I only know a handful of their songs. Love them live yet feel they're sound sort of immature. (Mind you, they DO have, what? five drummers and seven guitar players?) Maybe that's why they sound pretty good live.

I discovered two great songs at a club in London a couple years ago: The Go Team's Huddle Formation and Peter Bjorn and John's Young Folks. As soon as arrived in the states, I bought "Thunder Lightning", but "Writers Block" wasn't released until 6 months later.

I have an album of theirs that my to-be-brother-in-law burned me a copy of, but I've only given it a half-hearted listen or two. I'll be sure to give it a chance next chance I get.

Probably my favorite band
Ian Parton is one of the most brilliant guys writing music today, imo.
Their last album is criminally underrated, and a nice progression from thunder, lightning, strike. I saw them last October in NY, and it was a fantastic show. I highly recommend going to see them if anyone has the chance.
Theres another go! team thread floating around here somewhere, but they deserve more than one.
Heres a couple of great, great b-sides for anyone who hasn't heard them.

Ooops. Sorry, I didn't realise there was already a thread about them.
I'd definitely go and see them live if I had the chance. I just wonder if the venue would be full of kids because of that pop sound they have going on.

I used to work for the NTSB. I find it amusing that there's a band that took its name from the group of investigators that are initially sent to crash sites.
