Probably the first time genuine joy has ever been elicited at a trendy Shoreditch wine-bar, I’m From Barcelona’s typically celebratory performance was as always a total pleasure to behold. The 14-piece Swedish joy-horde may be reluctant to tweak their setlists (this was almost identical to last year’s Scala show), but the 200-strong audience were too busy being covered with confetti, bouncing balloons and fending off crowd-surfing saxophonists to care. AND they covered Justice vs. Simian’s “We Are Your Friends” which naturally ranks as one of the greatest gig moments of 2009 so far. Awesome scenes.
