Dinosaur Jr frontman J Mascis and Dirty Projectors stop by Portlandia on Friday at 10/9c
This Friday at 10/9c, legendary Dinosaur Jr frontman J. Mascis, Quasi/Sleater-Kinney/Wild Flag drummer Janet Weiss and indie rock darlings Dirty Projectors all stop by Portlandia to take part in a soon-to-be legendary Battle of the Gentle Bands. (You can watch a clip here.) Portlandia has a three season long history of having incredible musicians swing by for guest starring roles, but that’s what you get when you have two indie rockers — and more important, huge music fans — at the helm. Here are some of the incredible musicians that have stopped by the Portlandia set with Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen so far:
The Smiths’ Johnny Marr
Corin Tucker/Colin Meloy/James Mercer at The Deuce
Annie Clark a.k.a. St. Vincent
Modest Mouse frontman Isaac Brock
Joanna Newsom
Miranda July
Eddie Vedder
