Of Montreal Appear on Jimmy Fallon with Solange Knowles


Last night everyone’s favorite glittery rockers, Of Montreal, took the stage at “Jimmy Fallon,” performing “Sex Karma,” with sometimes live collaborator and Beyonce’s little sis, Solange. There are a few noticable changes in Of Montreal. For one, there are more band members then they’ve ever had, and longtime drummer James Husband is no longer playing drums with the band as he has left to pursue his solo career. Sad, we know, but we wish him luck. Of Montreal was dressed in all white except for singer Kevin Barnes, but the band, in their theatrical sense, all had matching white painted faces.

The band releases their newest album, False Priest on Polyvinyl, September 14th, and fans are eagerly awaiting to hear the final version. Of Montreal has stepped back a bit from the glittery dance party they’ve been putting on for the past few years and have gone with a 1970’s vibe so they’ve said. This is really noticable in the performance with Solange. “Sex Karma” is up to watch as well is the song that did not appear on “Jimmy Fallon” broadcast last night, the first single “Coquet Coquette.” You can view both down below.

Phoenix Does 3 Songs on SNL

Saturday Night Live is getting kind of boring, isn’t it? This season is almost unwatchable with the exception of some great musical guests stopping by. Case in point, French rockers Phoenix graced the stage last Saturday night. It seems the current ‘thing’ on SNL is that when there is a lack of good sketches, the band gets to perform three songs that night. Nice. Phoenix charmed the audience with ‘Lisztomania’, ‘1901’ and ‘Too Young’. The band was really the only reason to watch.

Phoenix will release Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix in the US on May 25th.

View the three performances from the night below.

Vampire Weekend on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

It’s pretty much set in stone that Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is only going to book the trendiest things going, so what took them so long to get Vampire Weekend? The band stopped by last night to perform ‘White Sky’ which we’ve heard live before. This time around the band performed it with a string section.  I’m hoping the band makes it past their ‘dreaded album 2’ curse,  because even though I didn’t think it at first, I’m pretty sure Vampire Weekend has some solid staying power. Only time will tell I guess.

Check out ‘White Sky’ live on Jimmy Fallon.
