It’s pretty remarkable to see these guys on late-night TV already (is that some sort of record?). They just jumped onto the scene last fall at CMJ and have been getting an amazing amount of hype ever since. But, there’s good reason for that hype.
Check out why…. READ MORE

Hidden Track has the scoop on Trey Anastasio stopping by Conan O’Brien’s Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour:
Former 70 Volt Parade front man Trey Anastasio joined fellow redhead Conan O’Brien onstage tonight during the TV host’s show at the Tower Theatre in Upper Darby, PA. Big Red led the Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour Band through a take on the Marshall/Anastasio ditty Alaska while wearing a Philadelphia Flyers jersey.
Love the band “woo woo’s” to signify the train whistle; what a treat for the Phish fans in attendance. “Leave that guitar when you go…it’s mine now.” Love it.
I’m still debating whether or not I can afford to see Conan O’Brien here in San Francisco tomorrow as part of his Legally Prohibited from Being On Television Tour. He’s been pulling out the stops and asking friends to drop by, including Spoon in Portland and now Pearl Jam in Seattle…
Audience members certainly got more than they paid for when Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder and guitarist Mike McCready appeared for a series of impromptu serenades, including a reworded version of John Lennon’s “Oh Yoko.” Vedder changed the tune to “Oh Conan” and sang it to celebrate the funnyman’s birthday, which was Sunday.

After seeing that, I’m still torn because who knows who might show up when they’re in the Bay Area. Drop some comments if you’ve seen the show and let me know if I’d be crazy to miss this…
Conan O’Brien is no stranger to making headlines in the media world, and that trend will likely continue as coverage leaks in from his Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour, which kicked off on Monday night in the Pacific Northwest. First, there was the huge announcement that Conan inked a deal with TBS to bring his show to cable late-night. Then he kicked off his tour fronting the band he brought with him for a cover that seemed pretty apt for his situation, a twist on “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gayner.
Conan O’Brien announced a huge tour yesterday that will bring his lineup from The Tonight Show on the road to just about every major metro in the U.S., including a “headlining” MC slot at Bonnaroo 2010. The tour itself is aptly titled The Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour. Check out the info over at teamcoco.com.
This is exactly what I like to see from Conan. Not only did he close out his show with a raucous musical tribute, but now he’s closing out his entire TV history with a trek across the states. I’m pretty sure that he’s laughing internally with the approach. This is clearly his way of throwing up a middle finger to the corporate bureaucracy by perfectly fulfilling on his contract while finding another fruitful avenue for his entertainment. Team Coco FTW.
Yesterday was a big news in the comedy world with Conan O’Brien announcing that he’s taking his former lineup at The Tonight Show — namely himself, Andy Richter, and The Tonight Band with Max Weinberg — all on the road for a huge cross-country tour. Right around the same time I got this news and snagged myself a ticket for one of his dates in San Francisco, the promoters over at Bonnaroo had announced their Comedy Tent headliners for the 2010 festival. Guess who’s at the top of the bill?
The festival will welcome some of the most hilarious personalities working today, including Conan O’Brien, who not only will be performing in the Comedy Theatre, but will also be MCing the What Stage on Friday and Saturday.
Read on for the comedy lineup, which joins an already stellar music lineup announced last month. READ MORE
