Courtney Barnett Wears Midnight Oil For Stephen Colbert

by Paul Cashmere on February 19, 2016

in Live,New Music,News

Courtney Barnett showcased for America once again last night when she appeared on Stephen Colbert’s show wearing a Midnight Oil t-shirt.

Courtney was elegantly dressed in a black T featuring the orange scalp for Peter Garrett circa the 1979 Oils ‘Head Injuries’ cover.

Mr Colbert was elegantly dressed in a grey suit with nerdy glasses and a 70s schoolboy hairstyle (disclaimer: apparently once an artist has appeared at the Grammy Awards, no matter how alternative they may be, the “who are you wearing” crap becomes compulsory in all editorial).

Watch Courtney Barnett perform ‘Nobody Really Cares If I Don’t Go To The Party”.
