Moving Pictures JEFF the Brotherhood (Feat. Jerry Vivino on Flute) Performs 'Staring at the Wall' on Conan

As hometown psychedelic siblings JEFF the Brotherhood have made their rounds on the late-night circuit, they've offered some rather noteworthy flourishes at each stop. On Fallon, their pal David ate a sandwich. And on Letterman, we saw a five-piece incarnation of JEFF with frontman Jake Orrall donning a quite lovely dress. Last night, the brothers Orrall performed on Conan, and while yes, they did indeed incorporate some flute flourishes courtesy of Conan house-band member Jerry Vivino, I posit that this is the best and most true-to-form televised JEFF the Brotherhood performance yet.
As you'll see above, JEFF provides a killer (to steal Conan's word) rendition of "Staring at the Wall" from this year's Dan Auerbach-produced Hypnotic Nights. Nobody's masticating onstage, and nobody's wardrobe was provided by the Dress Barn, but Jake does in fact shred so hard that he loses his knit deer-having-sex hat. It's a streamlined, muscular and far-out performance, and just the sort of thing we've long known JEFF for around these parts. Congrats once again to the boys. Now, when's the Leno appearance?
