Ever get the feeling indie rock's just turning into one huge clique? Britt Daniel and A.C. Newman are playing together, Patrick Wolf's kicking it with Grizzly Bear, Junior Boys are remixing the Decemberists, Peter Bjorn and John hook up with a new indie gal vocalist pretty much every time they play "Young Folks", and basically everybody's in Broken Social Scene. Now comes word that Feist (indeed in Broken Social Scene) will be joined onstage this very night (August 27) by members of BSS, the New Pornographers, Grizzly Bear, the National, and Mates of State.

Lucky for you, this gathering has an open invitation for anyone with a television and antennae that pick up CBS (or a computer and, cough, YouTube), as the performance in question is none other than Feist's "Late Show With David Letterman" appearance. Tune in at 11:30 p.m. (Eastern) tonight and catch Feist joined by choir comprised of Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning of Broken Social Scene, Carl "A.C." Newman of the New Pornographers, Aaron Dessner, Bryan Devendorf, and Scott Devendorf of the National, Nicole Atkins, everybody in Grizzly Bear, and both Mates of State.

Maybe she'll even rope "Letterman" guest Susan Sarandon into lending her pipes?

UPDATE: We just spoke to Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear, direct from the "Letterman" set. He told us that the song they're doing is "1234", and they're wearing white robes with sparkly arm bands. Droste described the experience as "just like summer camp-- basically we were sitting around playing dress up, eating cookies, clapping, and getting to know each other. All we needed were trust falls."

Feist kicks off a brief North American tour at the end of this month, then sets sail for Europe.
