The Lemon Twigs played 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon' (watch)

The Lemon Twigs made their network television debut last night on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. One thing was clear from the lengthy top-of-the-show plug, bandleader Questlove is a fan of band and had, apparently, been pushing for them to be on the show for a while. “If you take the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, Sgt Peppers by The Beatles and maybe Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies and filter it through a bunch of 15-year kids,” said Questlove, describing them. “That’s what this is.” The Lemon Twigs played current single “These Words” from their forthcoming 4AD debut LP, The Lemon Twigs Do Hollywood, and you can watch that below.

As mentioned, The Lemon Twigs play NYC’s Irving Plaza on Wednesday (9/28) which is the ‘4AD Revue‘ with UK artist Pixx and Methyl Ethel. That show is free — you can RSVP here. They’ll then play Music Hall of Williamsburg on October 7 (tickets), as part of their tour with Sunflower Bean.
