Yay! All-you-can-eat peanut butter and jelly! Wait, that PB&J stands for Peter Bjorn & John? Even better. The Swedish trio takes over Chicago this week and weekend with four intimate concerts kicking off their “All You Can Eat Tour.” The six-week tour is their longest US run so far, with the band also taking up mini-residence in Toronto, New York and San Francisco, with a couple other dates along the way.

DOWNLOAD: Peter Bjorn & John's Re-Living Thing
On thing we love most about Peter Bjorn & John is their unpredictability. They careen from glistening pop to coldly strange world rhythms to shoegaze to frenetic garage workouts. You honestly don't know where they're heading next! And now, in advance of yet another bout of touring (do these guys ever stop?) they've "leaked" a complete rethink of their last album, Living Thing, in the form of a hip-hop remix album. Re-Living Thing is filled with cameos both large and small, including a vocal turn by Chicago's own Rhymefest on The Kickdrums' remix of "Nothing To Worry About." The best part about the whole thing? Peter Bjorn & John are just giving it away for free. So check it out!
