Portlandia star Fred Armisen will serve as "curator" and bandleader of the in-house 8G band for Late Night With Seth Meyers, the upcoming late-night show premiering Monday, February 24th.

Meyers broke the news yesterday on Twitter. "Fred will curate and lead the band, and continue to run it even when he's off shooting Portlandia," he tweeted, along with a picture of the five-piece group. Armisen will sing and play guitar, and he'll be backed by an eclectic group of players: guitarist Seth Jabour (Les Savy Fav), bassist Syd Butler (Les Savy Fav), keyboardist Eli Janney (Girls Against Boys) and drummer Kim Thompson (Beyoncé's touring band).

Armisen, who previously worked with Meyers as a cast member on Saturday Night Live, has an impressive musical pedigree. A multi-instrumentalist, Armisen formerly played drums in punk band Trenchmouth and the Blue Man Group, and music is an essential element in his comedic style – from his British punk parody Ian Rubbish to his many musical performances on Portlandia and SNL.
