Video / Music Portugal. The Man - "So American" (Live on Conan)
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 12:22 PM
It seems like Portugal. The Man are well on their way to greatness, which will come as a surprise to no one. Now labelmates with both Phil Collins and Cody Simpson (eeeeeeeeee!), their Atlantic Records debut In the Mountain In the Cloud has become a constant fixture on the FM airwaves, and the band just joined ranks with Team Coco by appearing on Conan last night. The band blazed through "So American" and looked pretty damn dapper doing it—the bright lights of not-quite-network TV suit them.
The only thing that would make this performance better is an appearance by the Masturbating Bear.
End Hits: In case you were wondering, Atlantic Records will NOT accept your demo via Twitter.
