Watch Bleachers' Jack Antonoff Host Ridiculous, Fake Telethon
Bleachers, the new project from fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff, dropped its debut album Strange Desire yesterday, and the frontman/guitarist went with a pretty unusual promotion plan. Instead of going the typical route with morning and evening talk show performances and appearances, Antonoff hosted a fake telethon instead!
According to Billboard, the singer filmed what was meant to look like the final half hour of a 24-hour telethon (aka the part where everyone's really tired and over it) and had it broadcasted over actual cable access channels. Lena Dunham's BF hosted the shindig, but also played a slew of new tracks off Strange Desire, including Bleachers' debut single "I Wanna Get Better."
