Geese Bring Haunting Soundscapes to 'SNL' Debut
In a surprise move, the Brooklyn-based indie rock band Geese made their live television debut on Saturday Night Live (SNL), bringing with them a moody and introspective sound that left viewers spellbound.
The band took over Studio 8H, performing two songs from their acclaimed third album, Getting Killed. The late-night sketch comedy show was hosted by One Battle After Another star Teyana Taylor, who has received critical acclaim for her performances in films such as Escape Room, which earned her a Grammy nomination.
For their first performance, Geese delivered a haunting rendition of "Au Pays du Cocaine" ("In the Land of Cocaine"), followed by a moody take on "Trinidad." The indie rock outfit was joined on stage by touring keyboardist Sam Revaz, who added to the atmospheric soundscapes.
The band's lead vocalist, Cameron Winter, reflected on the creation of Getting Killed in an interview with Rolling Stone, stating that the album's process was "a waking nightmare" until its completion. Guitarist Emily Green echoed these sentiments, noting that the album felt like a "brute-force effort" to reach its final form.
Geese are currently touring worldwide, with upcoming performances in Honolulu and major festivals such as Coachella, Governors Ball, and Bonnaroo. Last week's episode of SNL was hosted by Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard, while next week's episode will feature actor Alexander Skarsgård as host and Cardi B as the musical guest.

. I mean, Geese are talented and all, but is it really necessary to get them playing on SNL? I'd rather watch some new comedy sketches than listen to a bunch of moody music 
. Don't get me wrong, their soundscapes are pretty captivating, but can't we just stick with the good ol' variety show format? 
And what's up with all these bands being compared to each other like they're on some sort of musical competition 
. Just let them do their thing and don't try to make a fuss about it 
.
they have this super moody sound that's so immersive! i love how they incorporated atmospheric synths into their performance - it added such depth to their songs 
i also appreciated how the lead vocalist, cameron winter, was all introspective about the making of getting killed... sounds like there were some really intense moments in the studio 
but hey, it paid off! have you guys heard geese before?
, i'm not even kidding, their music is so hauntingly beautiful it gives me goosebumps (pun intended) 
. they're this brooklyn-based indie rock band that's just killing it right now, especially with their new album getting killed which is like a masterpiece or something. i mean, have you listened to the song "au pays du cocaine"? it's like someone took all my feelings and put them into music 
. and can we talk about how cool it was to see them live on snl? they were so intimate and raw on stage, it felt like they were singing just for me 
. i'm definitely going to be checking out their tour dates now, gonna try and catch them live if possible 
just listened to that link about them on snl and i'm obsessed with their music gotta get tickets for their concert in honolulu 
the way they created Getting Killed sounds like such a grueling process, but I think it's so worth it - their music is just on another level! 
Geese are def gonna be huge, mark my words!
