Until yesterday, searching “Geese Tiny Desk” was likely to direct you to a post on the band’s subreddit where a fan predicted that their stopping by the NPR offices was “pretty much inevitable.” They added, “I’m sure SNL is on the horizon as well.” The odds were already pretty high, but it only took two months for both of these things to come true. Geese made their Saturday Night Live debut last month, and their Tiny Desk Concert is up today. Watch it below.
The band delivered wonderfully subtle renditions of ‘Husbands’, ‘Cobra’, and ‘Half Real’ from their latest album Getting Killed. The performance was recorded in December 2025, so maybe that Reddit user was among the small group of NPR staffers – “and friends,” as one of them clarifies – who watched it live. “NPR staffers don’t have this many friends,” Cameron Winter quipped, adding, “I’m kidding, I’m kidding. Don’t turn the cameras off.” We’re glad they didn’t.
