Last week, Bright Eyes gave their first performance in nine years on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
The last time the band played together was at Honolulu’s Hawaii Theatre in November 2011. Since then, Conor Oberst and co. have been inactive, with Oberst staying busy with his solo career.
However, earlier this year Bright Eyes announced they were making a return to music in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.
The band were supposed to have finished the North American leg of their big comeback tour by now, and were meant to be gearing up to hit Europe, but instead their tour plans were postponed due to the coronavirus crisis.
Colbert had taken a two week hiatus, but the late night talk show continued to share remote performances from musical guests as part of the #PlayAtHome series.
DeMarco’s performance featured the show’s bandleader Jon Batiste on piano, as he played poolside while a mannequin pig head rotated beside him.
