The Scandinavian trio that is Miike Snow is coming to the Paramount Theater tonight for beats, electro pop, and a whole lotta love. Snow gets stuck in your head, not like Selena Gomez stuck, but like a breath of fresh air and with a cleaner transition. Based in Sweden, members Chris Karlsson, Pontus Winnberg, and Andrew Wyatt caught the attention of the rest of the world with the single "Animal" and following with "Burial." These songs caught the eyes of DJs and other artists who wanted to remix the tracks such as Crookers and Peter Bjorn & John. Their most recent album "Happy To You" has been getting mixed reviews. The shift in repetitiveness of their tunes has been noted, and it has a bit more of a playful and fun vibe, unlike the straight beats that encompassed their first few hits. I think people are complaining because this is a different side of Miike Snow than listeners are used to. Their inconsistency is kind of attractive, the unknown of what lyrics will be matched to what kind of beat. Listen for yourself, what differences do you notice?

In the meantime, go check the Swedes at the Paramount Theater tonight $25.75 in advance and $29.25 at the door. Why the odd numbers? Doors at 7PM, show kicks off at 8PM.

P.S. Opening for Miike Snow tonight is Penguin Prison. What kind of a name is that? Touring with Snow, the PP quartet hails from NYC and have played with big time acts such as Temper Trap. A sound that is a lot like Chromeo mixed with a touch of Wham!, these guys sound like they might even top Miike Snow. These guys step it up to the plate when they perform for top chart bands with a clashing fluidity that is remarkably catchy.
