More tunes on the OC

Modest Mouse, the Killers and the Walkmen are all scheduled to appear on The O.C. during the show's second season. The Killers and the Walkmen have already filmed their segments, which take place in a new club that the program's characters are launching. Walkmen bassist Pete Bauer said, "The characters are opening a club -- like the Peach Pit After Dark on 90210 -- it's called the Bait Shop. They wanted a band to open it up. So I think we're the first band at the Bait Shop." Neither Bauer nor Killers frontman Brandon Flowers divulged many details of their appearances, except to say that they both perform in the background during scenes set in the club, and that both bands got to play two songs each during the filming. Alternative music has featured prominently in the hit show, with songs by Franz Ferdinand and Interpol aired on the show last year. The program's theme song, "California," is by the band Phantom Planet, and a soundtrack album released last March featured contributions by Jet and the Dandy Warhols, among others.
The O.C.'s season premiere is set for Thursday, November 4th at 8:00 P.M. ET on the Fox network.

I knew they would do a Peach Pit. Classic.
