The Pernikoff Brothers open with “Shine” from their 2025 album, Ah Londres. It’s immediately clear that they are talented musicians. Often between songs, the brothers switch instruments, from the bass to the guitar. They joke that they can’t afford two guitars. 

Later on they play “Colorado”. “Let’s never go home, never leave Colorado”. It’s a beautiful song about the Rocky Mountain state. The band is from St. Louis and their father is in the audience tonight. The lead singer comments on how when he would call his father when he is feeling down, he would tell him to stop being such a limp dick.  

Midway into the set, they talk about trying to get a tour of Abbey Road Studios. The response is that they are a working studio, so they don’t do tours. Then they ask to book a session. The response is to send in their material, and they’ll be contacted if an engineer wants to work with them. Soon afterwards, they hear that there is one day available. So, they go and record a bunch of their original songs, which becomes the Ah Londres album, along with a Beatle cover, “Eleanor Rigby”.

Towards the end of the night, they play “Done With Love”. “Maybe I’m done with love / Maybe I’m done / For now / I didn’t expect you to come along / I didn’t expect you to be the one”. It’s a fantastic love song that showcases their talents.
