The self-professed satanists saw their dark star rise earlier this month when country singer Charley Crockett allegedly removed them from his tour because of their use of "satanic imagery," propelling the husband-and-wife duo into the spotlight and earning them an invitation from Jack White to open one of his shows .
On Wednesday, singer Alexandra James and guitarist Zachary James got more return from their presumed deal with the devil when they made their late-night TV debut on The Daily Show . Twin Temple performed "Haunt Me," off their forthcoming album Doomed Lovers , out Oct. 9.
The duo took the stage on a church-themed set with upside down crosses and candles, with the initial part of the broadcast appearing in black and white. Color began to seep in, revealing brilliant red outfits and backdrops.
The pair also sat down to chat with host Jordan Klepper . They explained their inspirations and why they've dubbed their music "Satanic doo-wop" ("It's just rock 'n' roll, honestly," Alexandra said). Klepper asked the group about making national news when they were kicked off Crockett's tour.
"We were pretty shocked," Zachary replied. "It was a few days before the shows began." Alexandra added, "I feel like it's time for maybe a little more Satanic Panic. Like, let's get it going again."
She noted, "The reason why we're drawn to rock 'n' roll is that it was always about pushing back against societal norms, about questioning the status quo."
