Pitchfork reader Michael Drohan was lucky enough to catch Swedish indie-pop juggernaut I'm From Barcelona's performance at the Rough Trade Shop's Covent Garden location last weekend, and he snapped a few photos for us. "If you've never been to the shop, it's tiny," Drohan says. "It's in the basement of a skate shop, and there's barely enough room to move around in there as it is, but they packed about 20-some members of the band in there (with a trombone, some saxophones, ukuleles, snare drum, high hat, and some of those keyboard things you blow into**), plus, I'd wager, 30-50 fans.

"The place became very hot and very sweaty very quick, but everyone was enjoying themselves. How could you not with these tunes? On the last song, the lead singer led the band up the spiral staircase outside to the small alley the shop sits in, and then played a few more songs outside, even putting the chorus of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" into one of the songs. It was a pretty cool time."

We are so, so jealous.
