Not simply memorable, it resonated as an instant classic.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighted by lead singer Samuel T. Herring&#8217;s erratic dance moves and fierce vocal intensity, the band&#8217;s mesmerizing rendition of &#8220;Seasons (Waiting on You)&#8221; amounted to far more than a promo spot.  It created an audio and visual experience that countless music fans would come to recognize.<\/p>\n<p>While some parody emerged alongside the reverence, there was no denying the impact of the performance.  And when the song appeared at the top of many highly-regarded &#8220;best of 2014&#8221; lists a half-year later, the performance video made an impact again.<\/p>\n<p>On April 28, Future Islands will receive the chance to create another classic &#8220;Letterman&#8221; moment.<\/p>\n<p>CBS confirms that the band will appear as that evening&#8217;s musical guest.  Actor Michael Keaton is confirmed as one of the evening&#8217;s interviewees.<\/p>\n<p>Currently progressing through its final David Letterman-hosted set of episodes, &#8220;Late Show&#8221; is focusing on very high-profile and valuable guests.
