A North Wales band poised to take the States by storm say it was “an absolute dream” to appear on an iconic late-night chat show.
Llandudno’s Catfish and the Bottlemen performed on the Late Show with David Letterman on Wednesday night. The band, who won the BBC Introducing gong at the corporation’s Music Awards in December, will release their debut album titled “Balcony” in the US on Tuesday, before embarking on a major American tour in February .
Speaking after the Letterman performance, lead singer Van McCann said: “It was an absolute dream come true for us. We used to stay up dead late and watch when it was on ITV2 before school the next day. Loads of our favourite bands have done it. It was an absolute honour.” The band performed their single “Kathleen” on the show, which has launched the American careers of Adele and Ed Sheeran. Last year, Catfish and the Bottlemen received funding through the British Phonographic Industry’s Music Industry Growth Scheme to help them break into the US market.
