NBC’s Late Night is defined by its host and bandleader. Letterman and Schaffer. Fallon and Questlove. And now: Meyers and Armisen. That’s right, Seth Meyers announced on Twitter today that Fred Armisen will “curate and lead the band,” and most importantly, “continue to run it even when he’s off shooting Portlandia.

Wow, that is a great move for Seth. Armisen was actually a drummer in an indie band in Chicago before he got into comedy. He plays guitar too. His partner on Portlandia Carrie Brownstein is one of the most kick-ass female rockers of all time. The bonus for Seth is that Fred can do comedy and sketches too.

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.
