If you’re a Friday Night Lights fan, you remember Crucifictorious, the band fronted by Jesse Plemons’ character Landry Clarke. At this year’s ATX Festival in Austin, Texas, Plemons and Stephanie Hunt (who played Devin Bolan on the show and bass in Crucifictorious) teamed up for a band reunion. They were in attendance for the celebration of Friday Night Lights’ 20th anniversary.
Introducing it as “a song I think Crucifictorious would cover,” Plemons led the band in a cover of Daniel Johnston’s “Devil Town.” Plemons also said that he thought it was “one of the greatest songs ever.” “Devil Town” was the lead off track from Johnston’s 1990 album 1990.
Crucifictorious previously reformed at the ATX Festival in 2016, where they performed a cover of The Flaming Lips‘ “She Don’t Use Jelly.” Plemons also made mention of the Friday Night Lights reboot at Peacock, saying, “We’re not gonna do anything until the point that we feel like we do a show that’s going to be able to live up to that legacy, and there’s no reason to do it until that happens.”
