Watch Bon Iver (And Kristen Wiig’s Lana Del Rey Impersonation) On SNL
With one week to go just before the Grammys (at which Justin Vernon could win some huge awards, but will not execute, thankyouverymuch) Bon Iver hit Studio 8H as musical guests for SNL‘s Channing Tatum-hosted episode. The band played “Holocene” and my beloved song of final year “Beth/Rest,” plus Colin Stetson wore a Liturgy shirt. Throughout Weekend Update, Kristen Wiig impersonated Lana Del Rey, cleverly “apologizing” for her maligned SNL overall performance last month. Watch Bon Iver and the Update segment under.

A although back, we labeled sister-act electro pop outfit Zambri a Band To Observe and posted the band’s 1st single from their forthcoming debut LP Residence Of Baasa, “ICBYS.” Now that clip has a dark (actually), frenetic video. Context from the group:
we broke into the vacant apartment up coming door to me and kept the lights out! johnny woods (who directed our “on call” video and who does all of neon indian’s wonderful reside visuals) is the guy we train to battle all through the vid. we drank a great deal of scotch and port wine and generally he at some point agreed to take off most of his clothing and get into character.

Watch Bon Iver’s Grammy Commercial
The 54th annual Grammy Awards will be handed out at the Staples Center on two/12, and although Bon Iver will not be executing at the ceremony, the band is up for some of the night’s greatest awards, like Record Of The 12 months, Song Of The 12 months, and Finest New Artist. That is enough to have inspired a specific commercial featuring cool, wintry animation and the sounds of “Holocene.” The spot was developed by the Recording Academy and ad partner TBWAChiatDay, and is one of 4 “We Are Music” artist-themed tune-ins (along with Adele, Foo Fighters, and Skrillex) being rolled out before the large night. Verify it out Bon Iver’s under.
Can somebody ani.gif that for me? The Grammys air 2/12 on CBS at 8 PM EST.
They Might Be Giants Do Conan
Fans of dorkily comedic things, take note: Nerd-rock veterans They Might Be Giants were on Conan last night, and it’s hard to imagine a more generally simpatico host. On the show, they played the recent track “When Will You Die.” And as a web exclusive, they also pulled out a noisy version of the 1988 relic “Ana Ng,” a song that you just know got major play in the SNL writers’ room when Conan was working there. Watch both below.
TMBG’s Join Us is out now on Idlewild.
