you might not be able to tell from listening to us, but at least 2/3's of the max levine ensemble are huge conan o'brien fans and we've been trying to get on the show for the better part of a decade. you may remember when we submitted a video of ourselves covering an old conan o’brien sketch about 8 years ago:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evtXQNmG_OY

or maybe you remember when we met la bamba (of conan's house band) while attending a taping of the show on tour:
