Ever seen a zombie reanimate on the dance floor? Love in Stockholm’s Halloween show at the Precinct was a funk-fueled night of the living dead. Love in Stockholm, masquerading as Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band—complete with costumes—was in full force Saturday. Big British shoes to fill you say? Yeah. And Love in Stockholm played the shit out of Sgt. Pepper’s, leaving the crowd screaming, “It’s Alive!!!” The seven-piece ensemble played a high-energy set with their distinct rock-funk sound. Completing the Halloween tribute show was Turkuaz performing as the Talking Heads and Hey Mama as Led Zeppelin.
Just as the famous alter-ego group gave the Beatles the freedom to experiment, Love in Stockholm’s masquerade reinvented Sgt. Pepper’s with that unique soulful edge that Boston seems to have an ever-increasing demand for. Bumping elbows with zombies and X-Men to some kickass rock-funk. Yeah, that’s my kind of Halloween.

Ugh. Paste’s profile of Free Energy made me kind of hate them. So does your review. It’s this unctuous defense of good-time rock-and-roll ("we’re just here to party, and we’re awesome!") that seems more self-serving than fun-loving.

that inescapable feeling you are referring to, is that like when you hear something and you could have sworn you heard it before because of the nostalgic catchy quality? or is is like when you’ve heard a band exactly like said band?
great post by the way!

no prob. The whole album is excellent, combining some of the harder sonics of Los Angeles with the meat of his debut and obviously difficult to summarize in only 50 words… 
I’d say it’s on par with the debut, but better than Los Angeles.
