Rock on TV Preview: tUnE-yArDs Make Their Late Night Debut
Merrill Garbus

tUnE-yArDs will bring their unclassifiable brand of funky, folky, noisy art pop to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight. This will be the band's first appearance on a late night talk show, so it should be interesting to see how the commanding, wildly charismatic stage presence of frontwoman Merrill Garbus translates to the small screen. Going on the group's recent concerts, it seems like a fair bet that this end up being one of the more memorable and attention-grabbing late night debuts.

Tonight:
Pitbull - Conan, TBS 11:00 p.m.

Christina Perri - Late Show with David Letterman, CBS 11:35 p.m.

Colbie Caillat - Lopez Tonight, 12:00 a.m.

tUnE-yArDs - Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, NBC 12:35 p.m.

Tuesday Morning:
Deborah Gibson and Tiffany - The View, ABC 11:00 a.m.

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
