Overview
- The band played NPR’s Tiny Desk in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, delivering their first appearance on the office concert series with a compact five-song set.
- The set mixed new material and classics, opening with Your Favorite Toy’s “Spit Shine,” then “Learn to Fly,” “Child Actor,” “My Hero,” and “Everlong.”
- All six members squeezed behind the desk, and NPR said the group even taped out the workspace’s dimensions in rehearsal to plan the tight setup.
- Dave Grohl called the visit an honor and pointed to D.C. go-go legends Trouble Funk fitting 12 players into the space as proof the room can handle a big band.
- Next on the calendar is BottleRock Napa Valley on May 23, followed by a European tour starting June 10 in Oslo and a North American stadium run opening August 4 in Toronto.
