Bright Eyes

On February 24, 2011, Bright Eyes performed "Jejune Stars" on the Late Show with David Letterman, marking a significant moment during their career as they were promoting their album "The People's Key," which was released just days earlier on February 15, 2011. This album was notable for its incorporation of electronic elements, a departure from their earlier folk-centric sound. The performance on Letterman showcased the band's evolution while still highlighting Conor Oberst's distinctive lyrical style and emotive delivery. During this period, Bright Eyes was experiencing a resurgence, having previously taken a hiatus, and "The People's Key" was met with anticipation from both fans and critics alike. The appearance on such a prominent platform indicated their reestablished presence in the music landscape, reaffirming their influence in the indie rock scene.
