Last night, Black Pumas — the Austin upstarts who have emerged as “the breakout band of 2019” (NPR) on the back of their “perfectly realized” (The Guardian) self-titled debut album — performed “Colors” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
“Colors” took off after a live version racked up over 4 million views on YouTube, and is currently the #1 Most Added song at Triple A Radio. Watch last night’s Kimmelperformance here: https://youtu.be/3kUuG_OFgeM
From winning Best New Band and Best Song (“Black Moon Rising”) at the 2019 Austin Music Awards and attracting praise from Rolling Stone for their “tireless, charismatic” performances at SXSW to sold-out dates across the US and debut television performances, Black Pumas are having an ascendent 2019. Black Pumas recently captured “lightning in a bottle” at a recent Austin City Limits taping, and just last month performed on CBS This Morning.
