Swet Shop Boys -- the trans-Atlantic crew made up of Heems, Riz Ahmed, and producer Redinho -- made their television debut together on Colbert last night, performing "T5" from their debut full-length, Cashmere. Both Heems and Riz added new verses to the end of the song (and Heems shouted out the late Prodigy) that feel especially timely given what's been going on in the news with the travel ban in the last couple weeks.
