WATCH OKKERVIL RIVER DEBUT NEW SONG "WEAVE ROOM BLUES" - A B-SIDE FROM 'I AM VERY FAR' (5/10, JAGJAGUWAR) - ON LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON HERE: http://bit.ly/hr29k0
Last month, Okkervil River performed their new single, "Wake and Be Fine," on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. After the official show had stopped taping, Okkervil pianist Justin Sherburn stuck silverware, pencils, screws and feathers between the strings of the "Late Night" piano and led the band in a web exclusive taping of another new, unreleased song, "Weave Room Blues". As with "Wake and Be Fine," the band was accompanied by the New Pornographers' AC Newman and the Roots' Damon "Tuba Gooding Jr." Bryson. "Weave Room Blues" was posted today on Fallon's website. A studio recording of "Weave Room Blues" will be available as a b-side closer to the May 10 release of Okkervil River's anticipated new album 'I Am Very Far' (JAGJAGUWAR).
Over the weekend, frontman Will Sheff attended the GRAMMYS - where he was a first time nominee- and wrote a first-hand account of his experience for Billboard: http://bit.ly/iiQLsr
Okkervil River will perform at Terminal 5 on June 7, the largest NYC venue the band has ever played. Worldwide tour dates and SXSW shows will be announced soon.
