Westside Cowboy: Pin Up Boys | The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon made room for Westside Cowboy alongside some much more familiar screen faces, and the musical guest drew the largest audience of the week's new uploads. Its performance of "Pin Up Boys" has reached about 227,000 views.

The conversation underneath offers a little listening guide of its own. Viewers hear echoes of the Breeders, Pixies and Fugazi; others single out the show's sound technicians. One imagines the song accompanying an independent movie made with friends in the woods. That's a more specific recommendation than a row of applause.

Charlie Heaton's visit brought a different kind of introduction: a Newfoundland cod-kissing tradition in honor of Below, plus stories about Stranger Things castmates not knowing he had a British accent. Patti Smith, meanwhile, recalled meeting the Pope and explained the choice of paperback cover for her memoir Bread of Angels. Her remark that she doesn't consider herself a musician makes an intriguing companion to a week whose most watched new upload is a band performance.

The channel's subscriber count stayed unchanged, while daily viewing is running at roughly a third of its usual level. Saturday Night Live had a particularly large viewing week among the neighboring entertainment shows; Fallon's weekly views were close to those of The Graham Norton Show.

Among individual uploads, a Hugh Jackman Marvel-record flashback currently draws the most daily views, followed by Westside Cowboy. A Lili Reinhart clip about auditioning for Glee also has momentum: the archive and the guest chair both have something to contribute.

What viewers say

Respect to this show's sound technicians. The precision of the recording matches the precision of the performance itself. It's a gift to any band debuting on national tv and a rarity these days.

I hear so much influence from The Breeders, old 90s Grunge, Fugazi, The Pixies, and It Goes On. What a performance!

Listening to this I just wanna gather my closest friends and make a independent movie in the middle of the woods and then putting this song as its soundtrack and then premiere our movie in the ancient almost closing cinema downtown

Love so many of the bands that have been around for 30+ years and are still doing it, but also really nice to see some fresher faced bands being given the limelight... doesn't happen enough!
