Geese made their debut as musical guest on Saturday Night Live.
The Brooklyn-based band took over Studio 8H on Saturday (Jan. 24), performing a pair of songs from their acclaimed third album, Getting Killed.
The late-night sketch comedy show was hosted by One Battle After Another star Teyana Taylor, who has earned critical acclaim for her performance in the Leonardo DiCaprio–led film. Taylor also received a best R&B album nomination for Escape Room ahead of the 2026 Grammy Awards.
For their first performance, Geese played “Au Pays du Cocaine” (“In the Land of Cocaine”), the eighth track from the band’s 11-song album, which arrived in September 2025. Joined by touring keyboardist Sam Revaz, the indie rock outfit later returned to the SNL stage for a moody rendition of “Trinidad.”
Getting Killed follows Geese’s 2023 album, 3D Country. Reflecting on the album’s creation, frontman Cameron Winter told Rolling Stone in August 2025, “I was unhappy until the last possible moment.” He added, “Maybe even still. The whole process — maybe this is just how we make albums — but it’s all kind of a waking nightmare until it’s mastered.”
Guitarist Emily Green echoed that sentiment, noting, “It does feel like a brute-force effort until the very end.”
The group is currently touring worldwide and will perform in Honolulu on Jan. 31 before heading overseas, then returning to the U.S. for the Treefort Music Festival in Boise, Idaho, in March. The band also has several major festival appearances on the books, including Coachella, Governors Ball, and Bonnaroo.
Last week’s episode of SNL was hosted by Stranger Things star Finn Wolfhard, with A$AP Rocky serving as musical guest. Next week’s episode on Jan. 31 will feature actor Alexander Skarsgård as host and Cardi B as the musical guest.
