Watch Blue Jean Committee Talk About Their Old Pals Hall and Oates

Kings of the "Yacht Rock" genre Daryl Hall and John Oates are kicking off a slew of tour dates this summer in an effort to raise the nation's median concertgoer age by at least 30 years. And to announce their soon-to-be onslaught of blue-eyed soul jams, Hall & Oates have enlisted fellow "Mavens of Mellow" the Blue Jean Committee from IFC's Documentary Now!. Reprising their laid back musical personas, Bill Hader and Fred Armisen reflected on the history between the two groups in a new video announcing the tour.

"What do you think of when you think of the Seventies? When you think of beautiful harmonies, you think of a duo who sing together to make hit songs. You think of the Blue Jean Committee and that's who we are," Armisen remarks. Hader continues, "Who you think of fifth, or maybe eighth, is Daryl Hall and John Oates. You know who used to open for us? Who we used to kick around? Daryl Hall and John Oates!" Strong words. Strong, smooth words.
