Sorprendente. Sólo así se me ocurre calificar la actuación que protagonizaron anoche The Roots y Justin Vernon en uno de los late nights más de moda en Estados Unidos: El Show de Jimmy Fallon. Juntos alargaron "Perth", el tema que abre el último disco de Bon Iver , y llevaron una canción que dura poco más de 4 minutos hasta superar los 8, casi el doble. Con un toque muy a lo R&B, la canción va creciendo desde una apertura tranquila hasta convertirse en un festival de instrumentos que [...]

Absolutely stunning rendition of "Perth"

https://twitter.com/#!/blobtow er/status/167307020444246016 We fight against the Corrupt Indie Machine 4 u. This week, a battle was launched against Carles by Justin Vernon . He stood against Independent Indie Media. He stood against The Indie Truth. He stood against indie free speech and the Progressive Alt Blogosphere. Many speculated that he was a part of the Corrupt Indie Machine . Perhaps he has seen the light, taking to #Twitter to issue a formal apology 2 Carles . He said, "sorry CRLS." [...]

Even in an age in which Spotify is (albeit justifiably) chastised for paying out pittances and peanuts to starry-eyed, if holey-jeaned artists it seems all but entirely illogical that a record of such startling beauty as Anywhere But Where I Am may be proffered by its conjurers free of charge. Said conjurers are Flights , or Eric Hillman and Brian Holl. Although the duo are now shacked up in Nashville, they hail initially from Wisconsin which, to the ignorant Brit at least sends surging thoughts recurring to Justin Vernon. Here [...]

When Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon was in NYC, The Roots invited him to stop by Fallon's spot for a little jamming. Being the gentleman that he is, he accepted, and what went down next was what you're about to witness. Together, The Roots and Mr. Vernon went in on an 8-minute version of "Perth" for this web exclusive. ( Late Night With Jimmy Fallon )

Justin Vernon stopped by the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon set to perform ?uestlove's "fav Bon Iver jawn" for the show's studio audience. As expected, The Roots deliver a very, very, smooth rendition of the opening song from Bon Iver, Bon Iver, working in some mesmerizing jams in the almost 4 minutes added on to the original track. I think they should take it to the studio and record an official version of this, anyone else? via

Justin Vernon and The Roots play a soulful 8 minute version of "Perth" on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Luckily they released the video on the web so those who didn't get to catch it may watch it. An interesting combo, but Bon Iver is no stranger to collaborations having worked with the likes Kanye West before.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Television NBC Well, this is surprising. Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon , the man who could not give a flying expletive about the Grammys , stopped by the ' Late Night With Jimmy Fallon ' studio to jam with the Roots on 'Perth,' the opening track from his most recent album. The all-star collaboration transformed the quiet torch song into a [...]

There's been a lot of collabos that the Roots have been able to do, and this one came by chance. En route to soundcheck for his performance on SNL, Justin Vernon stopped by and sat in with the Roots to perform ?uestlove's " favorite jawn ," from the latest album from Bon Iver, "Perth."

While in New York recently, Bon Iver 's Justin Vernon stopped by the J immy Fallon studios. While there, he teamed up with The Roots for an eight-minute, improvised jam-out of Bon Iver, Bon Iv e r ' s "Perth". The performance was not aired on TV, but is now available below as a web exclusive (via Fallon's blog ): You're missing out, Grammys .

Justin Vernon of Bon Iver swung by Jimmy Fallon's studio last week and gathered The Roots to put on a little live performance of "Perth", and it's pretty awesome. Questlove on the drums adds an entirely different element - I could go for a little Bon Iver/The Roots collabo album. Anyone? Tweet

https://twitter.com/#!/lancear mstrong/status/166693131562127 360 The war of Twitter words between Carles and Bon Iver continues, but now, famous indie celebrity Justin Vernon has acquired the support of Tour De France winner Lance Armstrong. It seems as though Carles has truly been backed into a lonely corner of the internet against the fame and power of celebrities like Justin Vernon and Lance Armstrong. Lance Armstrong is an Austin resident and long-time fan of indie music, particularly in the cool dad genre. Armstrong is actually probably one of the coolest dads [...]

Nominated for Grammys, forever ago.​The painful Grammy Awards press releases would be reason enough not to take part in the yearly award show, but Bon Iver's Justin Vernon decided to opt his band out

Tweet Two things I know as fact about Canada; one, it's cold as hell. And two, they export some of the best modern singer songwriter music available. Not the whiny angst ridden varitey that you seem to get here in the US. Certainly, with artists like Laura Marling and Ellie Goulding , the UK is still leading the pack. But Canada is closing the gap quick. Especially with fantastic emerging artists like Kathleen Edwards . [...]

After last week's debacle of Lana Del Rey , in whatever form you may find it more comforting to explain (along with a good impersonation from Kristin Wiig on last Saturday's show), Justin Vernon and the rest of Bon Iver made their first appearance on the Channing Tatum-hosted Saturday Night Live . Just a week before the 53rd Grammy Awards , in which the aforementioned group is up for several awards, including 'Best New Artist,' despite being relevant for four-plus years now, Bon Iver performed a spectacular rendition of "Holocene" and [...]

Last week we brought you news that Bon Iver was planning a project with Alicia Keys but here's news of a slightly more left-field collaboration from the award winning artist. The trailer below is for a new workout video that Justin Vernon is starring in to promote healthy living on the road. The DVD is hosted by personal trainer Jeff Rodgers and features not just Vernon but a number of bands including Gayngs and Halloween Alaska. </a

Filed under: News , Television C Brandon, Redferns As we learned last month, when Lana Del Rey 's iffy 'SNL' performance had everyone from indie snobs to Brian Williams crying foul, people like authenticity -- or at least what they perceive as such. Last night's guest, Bon Iver , have never been called out for their genuineness, and performing 'Holocene' and 'Beth/Rest,' singer Justin Vernon and his blazer-clad sidemen reclaimed [...]

For every questionable Saturday Night Live performance we witness, there are hundreds of others that find residence on the greener side of the opinion fence. Ones that remind us why we fell hypnotically entranced with the intricacies of an artist's song writing, with their commanding and confident stage presence, and why it still remains so cool that we have the luxury of seeing live music week in and week out on an "old school" platform that originally debuted all the way back in 1975. Tonight Justin Vernon and crew, collectively known as Bon Iver , took to [...]

Justin Veron told SPIN earlier this week, "Whenever we listen to ["Beth/Rest"], we feel this extra… 'Yes. We're going to do this, motherfuckers.' It's not irony." The anthemic closer to last year's magnificent Bon Iver, Bon Iver may sound like its tuned to the sentiment of early 902s mainstream cinema (or maybe it's just this video that's been forever altered how I hear the song), but just take one listen to the solo piano version you'll find that underneath Hornsby/Winwood schmaltz there's quite a song there. But on [...]
