I was wondering how in the hell this band became popular enough to sell out the club, and my wife told me that it's due to the Gray's Anatomy set.

actually, i like this band….and have NO idea what you are talking about? they played on a TV Show? live?

they are however, on some other commercial, for a music phone of some sort.

i presume they sold out due to a decently priced ticket, and a lot of curiousity!

they've been together since 1999 and these are the bands first US dates so pent up demand possible, the other buzz worthy support acts, pitchdork, nme ad blogger love for them, and "how i meet your mother".

Young Folks was featured on the 2/11 episode of Grey's Anatomy in the US! Check it out at abc.com.

A sticker on the album has a blurb where a reviewer calls Young Folks "the best song to appear on Grey's Anatomy" or something like that.

Is Grey's Anatomy the new O.C.? Will mere background play on the show propel indie acts to Death Cab For Cutie type prominence? Discuss!

First time I heard this song, I knew it was gonna end up in a commercial. That whistling kinda annoys the shit out of me.

but i believe they sold out their NYC show in late Jan out before the song showed up in a GA episode, the "buzz" was already building…

I think it's probably safe to say that Grey's Anatomy sell more concert tickets in DC than "buzz".

Grey's Anatomy has the same music supervisor as The O.C.

My Hej Hej co-DJ and I will be at the show tonight. I was surprised that it sold out…

these days most NYC shows are selling out. and there was a lot of buzz about them so it sold out very quickly. tomorrow nights show at webster hall sold out as well.

in other news - moz did not sell out in mins like he used to.

this show is going to be great. Grey's Anatomy or not, they are a bad ass band. Fujiya and Miyagi are going to kick some serious ass as well.

also, i might have an extra ticket. If you need one and you see a guy with a grey blue scissor sisters t shirt and a beard beside the will call around 840, and he is by himself, come ask.

Scandanavian bands are now the new Indie….

….or something like that.

And that song, "Young Folks", is catchy as Hell!

I thought all 3 bands were good. Au Revoir Simone did well in front of a sparse crowd, Fujiya and Miyagi laid down a solid groove and Peter Bjorn and John were very good.

You could tell that alot of the crowd were just there to hear Young Folks and the amount of chatter during some of the acoustic songs was disgraceful. But slowly, the band and the crowd started to get into it and PBJ started to bring the RAWK. I'd guess on a 60-70 minutes main set followed by a 4/5 song encore including (I think) a Concretes cover and a Television Personalities cover.

Great job DJing last night! Are you going to post your setlists later? I walked in when you were playing [ingenting] and I knew it would be a good night.
