Performing two songs from their latest album, Getting Killed, Indie rock band Geese debuted on Saturday Night Live.
Joined by their touring keyboardist Sam Revaz, the foursome opened with “Au Pays du Cocaine” (In the Land of Cocaine), the eighth song on their 11-track LP that dropped in September of last year.
The Brooklyn-based band’s follow-up to 2021’s Projector and 3D Country in 2023, according to frontman Cameron Winter, Getting Killed was a chore to make. Last August, the 23-year old told Rolling Stone
“I was unhappy until the last possible moment.” “Maybe even still. The whole process — maybe this is just how we make albums — but it’s all kind of a waking nightmare until it’s mastered,” and guitarist Emily Green agreed: “It does feel like a brute-force effort until the very end.”
Recorded in Los Angeles a year ago this month, the full length reached the top spot on the UK Independent Albums Chart, and is ranked fifth on Rolling Stone‘s list of the 100 Best Albums of 2025.
Geese’s second SNL song of the night was opening track “Trinidad.”
Consisting of schoolmates formed ten years ago, Geese will be touring worldwide; after a January 31 show in Honolulu, Hawaii next Saturday, followed by shows in March at the Treefort Music Festival in Boise, Idaho. They’re also set to perform at Coachella, the Governors Ball, and Bonnaroo, among other festivals.
