This weekend, MGMT brought their tightest suits and their giant lit-up pinwheel to the Studio 8H stage, playing the progged-out Congratulations tracks "Flash Delirium" and "Brian Eno". It's been a while since I've seen anyone finish a song with the old "make lots of noisy deafening feedback" trick on "Saturday Night Live". (Private to Andrew VanWyngarden: Dude, holler at me and I'll find you a good tailor. You need to get those sleeves let out.)
Watch videos of both performances below.
