Last night, Model/Actriz made their TV debut playing the Pirouette song “Cinderella” on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. As to be expected, the New York-based industrial post-punk band threw itself into the performance with plenty of panache, with frontperson Cole Haden fist-pumping, dancing, and twirling down a runway of blue strobe lights. Watch a replay below.
Model/Actriz released Pirouette, their second studio album and the follow-up to 2023’s Dogsbody, last month. It includes the singles “Doves,” “Diva,” and the aforementioned “Cinderella.” The LP was co-produced and mixed by Seth Manchester and mastered by Matt Colton, both of whom worked on Model/Actriz’s debut.
Although Model/Actriz churned their way through a spring tour already, they’ve recently announced an extensive run this fall, too. In addition to headlining slots at major cities in North America and Europe, they’re also playing music festivals like Kalorama, C2C, and Down the Rabbit Hole. Find their updated list of tour dates below.
