Geese Debut on SNL: Watch Performances of ‘Au Pays du Cocaine’ & ‘Trinidad’

Indie rock band Geese recently made their debut performance on Saturday Night Live, showcasing two tracks from their critically acclaimed album, Getting Killed. The Brooklyn-based group, accompanied by touring keyboardist Sam Revaz, delivered a performance that highlighted their growing presence in the music scene.

A Challenging Creation

Getting Killed, released in September, represents the band’s follow-up to their previous albums, Projector (2021) and 3D Country (2022). The album’s creation, however, was not without its difficulties. Frontman Cameron Winter, 23, described the process as a “waking nightmare” that continued until the album was mastered.

Did You Know? Getting Killed reached the top spot on the UK Independent Albums Chart.

Guitarist Emily Green echoed Winter’s sentiment, characterizing the album-making process as a “brute-force effort” until completion. Despite the challenges, the album has garnered significant recognition, being ranked fifth on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 Best Albums of 2025.

SNL Performance

Geese opened their Saturday Night Live set with “Au Pays du Cocaine” (In the Land of Cocaine), the eighth track on Getting Killed. They followed with “Trinidad,” the album’s opening track. Both performances are now available for viewing online.
