Watch Fred Armisen, Bob Mould and The 8G Band Perform Their Last Set on Late Night With Seth Meyers
Last night, Bob Mould and Fred Armisen joined Late Night With Seth Meyers’ 8G Band last night to help them close out their tenure. The band performed a cover of Husker Du’s classic “Makes No Sense At All”.
Earlier this summer, it was announced that the 8G Band would be leaving Late Night With Seth Meyers, due to budget restraints ahead of the show’s upcoming 12th season.
In an interview with Vulture, keyboardist Eli Janney stated the following about the band’s tenure coming to an end:
“There’s a lot of strong emotions. No one is happy about it. Seth has been a big champion of ours from the get-go. They couldn’t have been nicer about it… I have nothing but positive things to say. Ten-and-a-half years is a very long time on TV. Every TV show ends; that’s just the reality of any creative endeavor. It’s been 10 of the best years of my life. They always really took care of us and let us do what we wanted.”
Prior to the band’s final performance, Meyers stated: “Since the show launched in 2014, these four outstanding artists have been by my side, playing with over 200 guest drummers and reinventing the definition of a talk show band.”
