Sheppard Make US Late-Night TV Debut On Fallon's 'Tonight Show'

Sheppard Profile

Aussie-bred pop sensations Sheppard have leveraged the unstoppable clout of their 2014 single Geronimo into an American late-night TV debut, dropping the catchy cut for a vocally receptive audience on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon overnight.

On the program to plug the forthcoming release of their album, Bombs Away, in the US in March, the ubiquitous six-piece were flanked by three backing musicians (from The Roots, no less) for extra sonic depth, but by now the broad appeal of the song (and its writers) is palpable every time they get a chance to bust it out in such an arena. And, boy, they're pretty polished at it, at this stage.

Watch the Brissy band do their homeland proud below.

Despite being pretty busy winning over American audiences, Sheppard made sure to extend some Australian gratitude to their host, taking the time for a selfie with Fallon proudly sporting a Wallabies scarf and a whole bunch of Tim Tams. Awww.

If you want to catch the band's big moment on local TV to infuse the event with a little more gravitas, ABC2 will be airing the show tonight. Tune in from 7.50pm.
