The Orwells are an American rock band from Elmhurst, Illinois. The Orwells formed when all the members were in high school. The band released their first studio album entitled ‘Remember When’ on August 7 2012. In 2013, they performed on the ‘Lollapalooza’ tour. On November 22, 2013, Arctic Monkeys announced that The Orwells would be their support at nine American concerts in January and February 2014. The band were musical guests on ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ and played the title track from their ‘Who Needs You’ EP. Mario Cuomo barked into the microphone, drunkenly strutted around the set, collapsed on the floor, thrusted his crotch upward, and then sat down in one of the chairs next to Letterman’s desk before finishing the song. Letterman and Paul Shaffer were so thrilled with the performance that they demanded the Orwells do an encore. In a weird turn of events, the band shrugged and left the stage leaving Letterman’s band leader Paul Shaffer to do an encore of the song along with Shaffer’s band mates.
