Watch Portlandia “Cat Nap†Episode In Portland | Kristen Wiig Video, Miranda July Interview, New Book, & Top 50 “Coolest” Show
February 9, 2012 — PDXPIPELINE
It’s a big week for Portlandia with the new “Cat Nap” episode starting SNL and Bridesmaids star Kristen Wiig, and featuring filmmaker Miranda July. You can read our interview with Miranda July here on her film ¬ËœThe Future', You can also see a video clip with Kristen Wiig on IFC’s site here.
From IFC: This Friday at 10/9 c, you are going to discover your new favorite band: Catnapped. The group blends iconic rock outfits (white jumpsuits!), hair (Flock of Seagulls wishes they were this cool), and instruments with one very special twist: Kevin. Kevin is a cat who really gets it. He joined Fred Armisen's and Carrie Brownstein's burgeoning rock group when they were struggling to make themselves stand out in a sea of same old same old bands. The addition of Kevin -who we should mention is a cat, even though musical talent is not species-ist - and his incomparable synthesis of LOL cats and punk, brought the band instant fame and viral notoriety. It also brought them a very ardent fan in the form of Saturday Night Live/¬ÂBridesmaids¬Â star Kristen Wiig who would do anything to make sure the band stayed close to home. This feline fronted group only plays in Portlandia, so you have to tune in to IFC on Friday to hear more of their trailblazing sound.
Portlandia was also included in Shortlist.com’s “50 Coolest TV Shows Ever“. IFC also announced that Grand Central Publishing will be releasing a book on November 20th titled ¬Å“PORTLANDIA: A Guide for Visitors.¬Â The guide “will be written like a traditional travel book, but instead of recommending a reasonably priced diner in Oaxaca, it will lead readers through the Portlandia's landmarks, restaurants, and, undoubtedly, book stores in the same weird and wonderful tone that Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen have developed in their sketch comedy show.”
