Silversun Pickups on Conan Tonight, Announce Spring Tour Dates with Muse

What a great reason to stay up late! The utterly rad Silversun Pickups are playing The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien tonight. Word is they'll be doing "Substitution"...no word if the musical chairs winner is part of the set.



The Pickups are also heading back out on the road in February as openers for the UK group Muse. More dates are coming, I'm told, but the first few are below. Seeing the Pickups in an arena type environment is just going to be amazing.

Seen Your Video: Triumph the Insult Comic Dog at Bonnaroo

Sorry for the radio silence kids. Working hard on
The Wrens video interview to get it posted sometime before they put out their next record (heh). So much good stuff in it though, it's hard to cut anything out!

In the meantime, I had this sent to me recently and got laughing so hard I almost snorted my morning coffee through my nose. Robert Smigel may be bold but he's also a friggin genius. And the thing I love about Triumph the Insult Comic Dog is he is so equal opportunity in his bashing. TV on the Radio? The Decemberists? Beastie Boys? He'll poop on any of you, he ain't skerred...
