Art Brut Take On Conan, Harry Potter

Britain's sharp suited art rockers Art Brut will make their second ever appearance on the late night American television circuit on 'Late Night With Conan O'Brien,' tonight. The band, fronted by the tall and speedy speaker (when he's not performing) Eddie Argos, will tackle one of the cuts from their second album, 'It's a Bit Complicated,' rather confidently, thanks to their one and only previous U.S. network run.

"I was really scared at 'Jimmy Kimmel,'" Argos tells Spinner of that first stateside TV gig, over a year ago. "I don't know why. That was good practice though, so ['Conan'] should be good."

Two of the songs from the group's latest release they might tackle on 'Conan' are 'I Will Survive' or 'Pump Up the Volume.' Readers shouldn't be fooled though. Despite their familiar titles, they are Art Brut originals. "It was accidental with 'I Will Survive,'" Argos says of the tune's name. "My manager called me up and said, 'You do realize you've just written a song called 'I Will Survive!' I'd forgotten about the Gloria Gaynor one."

Another thing Argos says his band has forgotten about? Going out, despite spending a few days in New York City. "We've been watching all the 'Harry Potter' films on ABC family," Argos admits. "I read the first book, but never seen the films before. 'The Prisoner of Azakban' is my favorite."

Thanks to the Potter cram session and Hogwarts' latest installment opening today, Brut, following their appearance on 'Conan,' may jump in the line for "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."

"I think we should," Eddie states before realing where his real movie-heart lies. "I want to see 'Transformers' more ... and 'Die Hard'"
