VIDEO: The War on Drugs Play “Baby Missiles” on Jimmy Fallon
The War on Drugs stopped into Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night to throw down a concise but ripping version of “Baby Missiles.” As has become standard, Questlove joined the band on drums. Check it out:

Hopefully, we’ll see them making some high-profile festival slots this summer, along with a decent-sized tour.
