Jens Lekman at Bimbo's 365

Just got back from Jens Lekman's SF show at Bimbos...I love this guy, but unfortunately...I think he was tired. Having gone to his show at this same venue last Fall, I have to say--while Jens is engaging, has beautiful pipes, and a solid band---last time was better...way better. He started out in charming fashion playing air-chimes and dancing along to his songs with choreographed hand motions-- A for Adorable. But as the set progressed the band (violin, cello, laptop guy, bass, drums) disappeared and Jens was looking a little droopy as he whistled through Friday Night at the Drive-in Bingo and whispered through Pocket Full of Money.Jens always knows how to engage the crowd, but the innocent blondie from Sweden seemed...jaded? Could it be?Has the constant touring, incessant reviews, and what looks like lack of vitamins changed him? His on stage banter suggested a touch of --gasp--- cynicism...Oh no no no no no!!But then again, maybe this is just the course of things. As musicians gain popularity, shows increase, the fan base broadens, and then all of a sudden your stuck between a really tall guy with 18 elbows who keeps yelling "Jens you're off the chain!" and some chick calling her friend in the middle of a song. I'd be tired of it too...Please Jens...rest up for next time... we want you on the dance floor like that time last November...Photos to come!Here's Jens singing Arthur Russell's "A Little Lost."
