Haha... Found a Video.

A video of the Avett Brothers on Conan has been found! Excellent! I can stop obsessing now and get back to work.

The Avett Brothers on Conan - Sorry, No Video

All right, so there was a YouTube Video of the Avett Brothers' Conan O'Brien appearance for about 12 seconds, but apparently NBC likes to own things, so it's been removed. Copyright violations are bad, I know, but it was still cool, and I still wanted to share it with those who missed it.

If you didn't happen to stay up that night, here's a quick recap: The Avett Brothers played "Paranoia in B Flat Major", which comes from their new (and unbelievably good) record, "Emotionalism", which you need to get if you haven't yet. It's not a screamer, it's an edgy but pretty ballad that gives lots of good singing time to both Scott and Seth. The real surprise was their look: they were not vaguely frightening suit-clad mountain men, but rather clean-cut, coiffed hipsters. Really, really cute ones.

We're psyched to say "we know them when...", and even more psyched that even though they're becoming big ol' stars, they're still happy to play at little ol' GrassRoots.

The Avett Brothers on Conan O'Brien TONIGHT!

Yeah, so it's been a good week for GrassRoots Festival bands on late-night television. The Cat Empire on Jay Leno on Monday, and now the Avett Brothers on Conan O'Brien tonight.

I'm sick as a dog and don't feel like blogging anymore (it's finally summer, and I come down with the flu. Perfect.) but I promise that I will post a YouTube clip of the Avett Brothers' performance if I find one.
