The Promise Ring Performs 'Become One Anything One Time' on Conan O'Brien
On May 24, 2002, The Promise Ring performed their song "Become One Anything One Time" on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, showcasing their evolution as a band. This live recording took place shortly after the release of their final studio album, *Wood/Water*, which came out in April 2002. This album marked a significant shift in the band's sound, incorporating more melodic elements and a mature approach, a departure from their earlier, more straightforward emo roots. The performance on a prominent late-night show not only highlighted their ongoing presence in the music scene but also served to promote *Wood/Water* as they navigated the transition towards more pop-influenced sounds. Interestingly, despite the acclaim the band had received, *Wood/Water* would ultimately be their last album before disbanding, making this performance a pivotal moment in their career.
