Last night, taking a break from his Jenny Lewis duties, Ben Gibbard and his increasingly skinny body performed “Cath…” on Conan O’Brien. We’ve heard the Narrow Stairs song in various forms — solo acoustic, Daytrotter, Autumn de Wilde — but never on Conan’s stage. The big guy’s post-performance assessment: “I love that song.” As O’Brien also notes, DCFC are heading out on tour soon with Neil Young, which is where Ben borrowed his haircut/burns. You can watch them in action at Hulu. If you want to see them with Neil Young or by their lonesome, we have their upcoming tour dates:
