Not like live television debut, I mean like they had never before played as a band in public until last night, when they did so before a nationally televised audience. No pressure, guys. And yes that came pretty fast, but they had Bookeaters to plug, and chances are Rossen made a fan of Conan's music booker last time he was on. Dan and Fred performed In Ear Park standout "No One Does It Like You" with a makeshift Department comprising Grizzly's Chris Bear on drums, Dirty Projectors' Angel Deradoorian on background vocals, and someone I don't recognize but probably from Brooklyn on bass. (UPDATE: It's Nat Baldwin, who I like a lot actually) The Williamsburg supergroup got through it well enough, although Fred ends with a little sigh of relief that says "maybe next time let's do more shows before being on TV?" Fair enough, Fred's sigh of relief. Fair enough.

Last night at MoMA, Dan Rossen and Fred Nicolaus premiered their first video, for In Ear Park's woozy standout "No One Does It Like You." It was a PopRally event, the same performance series that has brought Sigur Rós and comedy short films to the museum in recent months. We sent Natasha Ryan to bring back images, and tapped the internet to bri...
Music videos are at a weird point in their evolution right now. Thanks to the internet, we can watch basically any video ever made whenever we want. But now that MTV has become an entire network devoted to dating shows from third-tier celebrities, those videos never quite reach TV audiences, at least not in the numbers they once did. And so vide...
