Okkervil River on Conan tonight!
Submitted by imaginary dana on August 29, 2007.
Ooh! Ooh! Austin's Okkervil River are making their network debut tonight on the Conan O'Brian show, and here's me without a television! Normally I consider this a blessing, but tonight, oh, what a curse it is!
I absolutely *heart* Okkervil River. TIG have long been fans of the brainy, eclectic folk-rock band, sponsoring what I believe was their first appearance in Seattle back in 2003 and stalking, erm, I mean, admiring the band ever since. The band's brand new release The Stage Names sounds SO GOOD from the tracks we've heard on KEXP, and if Jagjaguar doesn't send it our imaginary ways soon Liz and I are gonna shed real, non-imaginary tears.
Can someone Tivo/record/Youtube the performance for me? Pretty please?
Hat tip to Rock Sellout for the good news!

It looks like NBC still hasn't put the episode up but Pitchfork has found it on YouTube.

Sorry to be dominating this comment thread but I found the HD torrent file for the show as well. Not that I condone such flagrant naughtiness...

It sucks that you missed Okkervil River on Conan last night. They put on a heck of a performance and you could tell that Conan thoroughly enjoyed having them on his show.
No one has posted their performance on YouTube yet, but I found that NBC posts entire episodes of Conan the next day on their website.
Although, at this time, last night's episode is not available. Cross your fingers that it becomes available soon because they play Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe; who doesn't love that song?
