Last Tuesday, NYC indie rock band DIIV posted a fake teaser image for an episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by Fred Durst. And I fell for it. All the way. 100%. Ran straight to our writers to demand an article on it "NOW NOW NOW." So congrats to DIIV on their laser target precision strike on myself, current nu-metal thought leader and former Pitchfork obsessive.
Today they lent us all their new single, the politely nu-gazy "Brown Paper Bag," and it does indeed feature Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst introducing the band to perform the new track on NBC's own SNL set. Check out the video embedded above and catch DIIV on the road when their headlining tour launches June 6th.
