This band was so god awful on snl and the colbert report (I’m watching it now) that I looked up this blog just to tell every one. I’ve seen good live shows before and these guys suck!!!! I know they are the “new hot thing” now but no thanks. They sounded like someone put a cat in a bag and lit it on fire…

Does anyone remember when they were on Conan back in 2006, promoting Cookie Mountain, and they played this AMAZING version of “Wolf Like Me” where they kept stopping and starting the beat? Since NBC are assholes, the video is pretty impossible to find online, but I always loved that performance.

No, it was terrible and not even on par with any of their previously great performances. Also they’ve been amazing on TV before–see their Letterman performance. This was not their best moment.
