Get ready for a rockin' night! The iconic Saturday Night Live is about to get a dose of pure energy as the rising stars, Geese, take center stage. But this isn't just any performance; it's a moment that has fans and critics buzzing with anticipation.
Mark your calendars for January 24th, as Geese will be the musical guests on SNL, alongside host Teyana Taylor. This announcement comes after a series of exciting appearances for the band, including a memorable sketch on the final episode of 2025 where cast member James Austin Johnson impersonated their charismatic frontman, Cameron Winter. The sketch, a Christmas special, also featured spoofs of Kate Bush, Yoko Ono, and Björk, with Ariana Grande as host and Cher as the musical guest.
Geese's journey to SNL has been a whirlwind. Their fourth album, 'Getting Killed', released in September, has been making waves. From performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to recording for Nigel Godrich's esteemed 'From the Basement' series, these rockers are leaving their mark. They've covered New Radicals' hit 'You Get What You Give' on BBC Radio 1 and even sparked speculation with a potential Bruce Springsteen cover in an Xbox ad. But here's where it gets controversial—frontman Cameron Winter has kept everyone guessing, refusing to confirm if it's his voice in the ad.
The band's live performances have been generating serious buzz, and their album 'Getting Killed' landed at No. 7 on Pitchfork's 'The 50 Best Albums of 2025' list. Winter's solo debut, 'Heavy Metal', also made the cut at No. 3. With such accolades, it's no wonder Geese is the talk of the town.
And this is the part most people miss—the writer behind this exciting news, Nina Corcoran, has an impressive background. She joined Pitchfork as an Associate Staff Writer in 2021, but her contributions to the website date back to 2015. With writing credits for Rolling Stone, Wired, NPR, and Stereogum, she's a seasoned music journalist. Based in Chicago, Corcoran's expertise adds weight to the anticipation surrounding Geese's SNL performance.
So, will Geese live up to the hype on SNL? Will Cameron Winter finally confirm his involvement in the Xbox ad? Tune in on January 24th to find out! And don't forget to share your thoughts in the comments—do you think Geese deserves all the attention they're getting?
