The National will feature as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend.

The show will be hosted by Lena Dunham, and marks the band's debut appearance on the show.  You can watch the promo for the episode below.  It features as part of the band's ongoing international tour around GRAMMY-nominated Trouble Will Find Me, which has seen the band perform at Sydney Opera House and throughout Asia over the past couple of weeks.

To celebrate their performance on SNL, the 4AD Store is offering a sale across the band's 4AD and Beggars catalogue for a limted time only.  You can pick up Trouble Will Find Me and High Violet for $15, and Alligator and Boxer for $12, on vinyl, and all CDs can be picked up for $10.  Digital albums will be available at $9 for FLAC and $7 for mp3.  Head to the 4AD Store here.     

Last weekend, The National headlined the inaugral BBC 6Music Festival at Victoria Warehouse in Manchester, UK.  You can watch their whole performance and see exclusive photos from the set here, whilst their special bonus version of 'Graceless' has just been made available on 6Music's YouTube channel.  You can watch here or below.
