Watch Gotye on Jimmy Kimmel Live

When a friend first tipped me off to Australian artist Gotye a few months back, I didn't know he was on the brink of breaking through in America. Apparently he was, and I learned this steadily through December by catching his tunes playing in a favorite restaurant of mine, seeing his picture featured on Lighting 100's homepage, and now by watching his American television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Gotye (né Wally De Backer) didn't just make a little studio appearance, he had a gigantic stage and a (newly, I'm guessing) devoted crowd.

Check out Gotye and Kimbra singing "Somebody That I Used to Know."
