The Internet's 'Come Over' Gets The Cozy, Sensual Treatment On The Tonight Show

Syd, Steve Lacy, Matt Martians, Patrick Paige II, and Chris Smith — known with each other as The Internet — are making the rounds promoting their upcoming album Hive Mind, due out July 20. Last month, they stopped by to chat with MTV News and hang out on our couch and tease a little bit of the project, which is their first since a few members had released solo records.


They must've felt very at residence on that sofa, because once they rolled through The Tonight Show on Wednesday (June 27), the quintet performed their funky song "Come Over" while all cozied up on and about, get this, a couch! The stage was dressed like a warmly lit living room, complete with plant decor and even a coffee table (which Syd, needless to say, used as a rostrum).


With Syd's silken vocals creating an atmosphere of nocturnal energy, the rest of the musical group was free to loosely vibe around some seventh chords and, in Lacy's case, crunch out a center-stage solo on his cute Rickenbacker. No couch needed for that one.


"That's the aesthetics of our musical group Martians told MTV News. "Anybody would be that person on any given song. Right now, most of the album is certainly Syd, although there's little glimmers — Patrick's rapping on the album, and he's never rapped on a Internet album before."
