As if performances from Jenny Lewis and Beck didn't inject enough indie rock into your nighttime schedule last night (July 28), The Late Show with David Letterman got a dose of Conor Oberst. With the backing of his tourmates/bandmates Dawes, the Bright Eyes frontman performed his Upside Down Mountain single "Hundreds Of Ways."
Oberst and his nine-piece backing band bounced along to the upbeat single, with the frontman himself nearly kissing the microphone, he's singing so close to the piece.
The jangly signle didn't just get Oberst and co. grooving...
As he is wont to do, after the performance Letterman himself freaked out about the performance and congratulated the band, but not without remarking about the group's notable size.
"Look at everybody here! Are you paying these guys? Good gig," he commented before saying the name of the "mountain" was Upside Down Mountain.
Watch Conor Oberst perform "Hundreds Of Ways" on Letterman below:
"Hundreds Of Ways'" is a single from Conor Oberst's most recent solo album Upside Down Mountain, which hit stores in May via Nonesuch Records.
Oberst and Dawes weren't just in New York City to stop by Letterman. Tonight (July 29), the folky groups will play Central Park as a part of Summerstage before going on a more extensive North American tour.
