Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen will return to “Portlandia” January 21st on IFC. As previously announced, there will be appearances from Wayne Coyne and the Flaming Lips, Louis C.K., Zoe Kravitz, and Glenn Danzig, among numerous others on the new season.
A new trailer for the new season has surfaced today, showing the antics that arrive: drones removing man-buns, portals to other dimensions, Brownstein painting Armisen’s character in the buff, and more. There is a brief glimpse of Danzig’s appearance at around the :48 mark. Watch it here via Vulture.
Next week, on Monday August 11th and Tuesday August 12th, Annie Clark, St. Vincent, will be leading the house band for late night, the 8G Band. She will be the replacing Fred Armisen those two days as he films the highly-anticipated fifth season of Portlandia.
Even though the 8G band has had a variety of guest musicians joining the band, the band was only ever lead by Armisen. However, knowing how St. Vincent has been able to impress crowds, including a sometimes judgmental Saturday Night Live crowd.
Earlier this year, St. Vincent took a short performance as the front woman of Nirvana during the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction.
