On the telly:
Watch The Shins play ‘Name For You’ on Colbert
Stephen Colbert also drove off with their van. Cheeky so and so.
Last night The Shins rolled up to ‘The Late Show with
Stephen Colbert’. Little did they know they might not have a way to roll back
out again.
James Mercer and co. played an energetic version of recent
single ‘Name For You,’ taken from their recently-released new album ‘Heartworms.’
They also had a bit of a chat to Colbert about their recent, ongoing contest to
give away their (very nice, shiny red) tour van to whoever sends in the best
cover of one of their tracks.
The episode itself ended with Colbert driving away in said
van. Now, he didn’t play a cover of any Shins track, so he’s basically just
stolen their van. Don’t worry, they’ll probably still be able to go on their
newly extended tour.
Watch The Shins perform ‘Name For You’ and see Stephen
Colbert drive off with their van below.
