Crowded House Perform “Teenage Summer” on Kimmel: Watch

On Friday, Crowded House dropped their eighth studio album, Gravity Stairs, and to promote the release, they stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform the single “Teenage Summer.”

Taking the Jimmy Kimmel Live! stage, the band delivered a solid rendition of the breezy, nostalgic song, with a shimmering 12-string guitar leading the arrangement. As the momentum built, an electric guitar line provided a counter-melody to the lyrical refrain “Are we gonna have some teenage summer?/ Am I gonna have some mad idea?” ultimately reaching an anthemic climax. Watch the video of the performance below.

Gravity Stairs arrived in full on May 31st, marking the first full-length release from Crowded House since 2021’s Dreamers Are Waiting. Talking with Kyle Meredith in March, the band’s Neil Finn likened the new material to their ‘80s and ‘90s classics, emphasizing their dreamy, alt rock sound.

Now, with the album officially out, Crowded House will hit the road for a North American tour in August, stopping in Atlanta, New York, Omaha, and more cities before wrapping in September. Check out the full list of their upcoming dates and grab tickets here.
