Fred Armisen

Fred Armisen, one of Saturday Night Live’s most musically talented cast members, recently resumed his residency at Union Pool in Brooklyn, New York, performing one-man covers of his favorite bands. The show, called Fred Armisen’s Playlist Live!, reportedly features covers of The Clash, Devo, and Husker Dü, since nothing translates better to intimate covers being performed by one man like Zen Arcade and London Calling. Still, the man performed with punk band Trenchmouth and The Blue Man Group before he reached comedy fame at SNL and Portlandia. He has some serious talent, and it should be cool to see him use it in a non-comedic context.
