Watch The National on 'Saturday Night Live'
Last night’s theme on Saturday Night Live was definitely all-things hipster Brooklyn as both The National and Lena Dunham made their debut on the NBC television show.
Frontman Matt Berninger, and his normcore specs, led his five-piece band through two songs from their latest album Trouble Will Find Me including "Graceless," followed by "I Need My Girl." Check out the performances below.
The National are currently on tour and will perform this week, on March 11, at the Tibet House Benefit at Carnegie Hall.
