The musical guest on the Tonight Show was The War on Drugs. Fallon said their latest album is “Lost In The Dream”, and they performed the song “An Ocean Between the Waves” off of it. The frontman of the group also is a great guitar player. He jammed on the guitar, displaying his virtuosity. The drummer kept up a rapid, steady beat throughout the song. They did a fantastic job, and will likely wow the audiences at Coachella in April.
On this Tuesday night episode of the Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon, as usual, had some entertaining and cool guests, and he played Box of Lies with the lovely actress, Nicole Kidman. Patton Oswalt talked about his love of movies and how it became a sort of “addiction,” and the musical act, The War on Drugs, wrapped the episode up.
