Video: Jens Lekman: "Black Cab" / "A Sweet Summer's Night on Hammer Hill" (live at the 2006 Pitchfork Music Festival)
In honor of the 2007 Pitchfork Music Festival, which kicks off tonight, we're Forkcasting some of our favorite performances from last year's festival. The most striking thing about Jens Lekman when he first took the stage was the coordinated apparel of the women in his band: they played, they swayed, and they sang, and their white dresses looked sharp as well as practical.
It was a sweet summer day when Jens launched into "A Sweet Summer's Night on Hammer Hill", and then he closed with a shout-out to his webmaster.
