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.

For you to be in any way remotely amped about this story, the following things have to not make you want to barf: Starbucks, Valentine's Day, NPR-sounding MOR indie, Katy Perry blatantly grabbing for indie cred, cutesy fake-vintage cover art, the idea of anyone covering Coldplay for anything other than a joke, love in general.Still with me?
