Temper Trap To Perform On Letterman And At His Concert Series Webcast

During the first weeks of the US release of The Temper Trap's second, self-titled, album the Australian band will play live on two of the country's most watched late night shows.

Temper Trap are booked to appear on Late Show With David Letterman on Thursday - that episode will screen here Friday evening on Ten (the show usually airs after midnight in the early hours of a Saturday morning). The band are then booked to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday 14 June - the show does nort screen in Australia.

In a trailer spruiking the forthcoming Letterman spot - and the show's webcast concert series (below), band members talk about how they've always wanted to play on the show. But keyboardist Joseph Greer points out, "It's a little bit scary."

Singer Dougy Mandagi adds that the new material is going well on tour, "No one's thrown any like rotten fruits or shoes at my head... yet."

Also performing on Letterman next week are Silversun Pickups (Ten on Tuesday) and Jimmy Cliff (Ten on Thursday).

UK singer Regina Spektor will also be on the talk show PR trail next week, she can be seen on The Colbert Report, 7pm Friday on Comedy Channel, and Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on Comedy Channel, 11pm Tuesday. Also on Fallon, The Walkmen are set to play on Wednesday's program.

For those at home on Staurday nights, tonight Scissor Sisters guest on The Graham Norton Show (8.30pm on Ten) with Rumer performing there next week.

And, on ABC1 next Saturday night, Shaun Micalef will be guest programming rage (and promised in the weeks following are Kate Miller-Heidke, Blood Orange and Imogen Heap) - hopefully he can cause as much havoc as he did when a guest on Ten's Breakfast earlier this year (below).
