Here’s your Indie on TV alert for the Week of 6/17/13.
The notable performance of the week comes from Grouplove, scheduled to perform on Leno Tuesday night. After squeezing as much as possible out of their debut record “Never Trust A Happy Song”, Grouplove returns with the follow up “Spreading Rumours”, due in record stores September 17. Look for them to play the first single off the album “Ways To Go”.

Despite her decision to move on, we will always consider her a member of the Pixies, and her place will always be here for her. We wish her all the best.

Full-time touring members Scott McCaughey and Bill Rieflin also joined in the festivities.
