Silversun Pickups: "Substitution" (Live on Conan) (Video)

Grammy nominees Silversun Pickups helped bring Conan O’Brien's show one step closer to 2010 on Monday (Dec. 21) with this version of “Substitution” from their Swoon album. It’s been quite a year for the band, who reached No. 7 on the Billboard chart with the record.

“Substitution” was the second single to be lifted from Swoon, and this well-drilled and efficient performance could probably have been carried out blindfolded, with the band-members’ hands tied behind their backs. Silversun Pickups are now set to head out on a tour with Muse across the U.S. in the spring.
