Grouplove Performs

Grouplove Performs “Itching On A Photograph”

 

I’ve long been a fan of late-night television for their outstanding live music performances, and Conan O’Brien in particular has had a knack for featuring the best-of-the-best in music, often before the acts find mainstream recognition. The tall drink of water carrot juice continues this trend with the 2012 Conan Summer Music Series, and the latest band to take the stage is none other than LA’s own Grouplove.

Putting a serious emphasis on the “group” half of their name, the five band members are joined on stage for the performance by a slew of cardboard doppelgängers. With their identical outfits and animated expressions, these cardboard cutouts crowd the stage and really do give the impression that Grouplove has quadrupled in size overnight. However, the band doesn’t need any help filling the room with sound as they perform “Itching on a Photograph” off their 2011 debut album, Never Trust a Happy Song.
