‘Portlandia’ Season 4 to Feature Members of Wilco, Queens, TV on the Radio, Guns ‘N Roses

Before they were hipster-skewering comedic geniuses, the star creators of Portlandia were (are) DIY music-makers, which means every new season of the IFC show brings with it the possibility of excellent artist cameos. Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen can be seen below announcing the forthcoming fourth installment of the beloved series, and a press release has arrived as well, enumerating the many (many) guest appearances fans can look forward to.

Portlandia Season 4 kicks off Thursday, February 27 and will feature for the first time such music luminaries as: Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme, Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy, TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe, Dead Kennedys’ Jello Biafra, the Monkees’ Michael Nesmith, Duff McKagan of Gun N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver, singer-songwriter k.d. lang, and jazz duo Tuck and Patti. St. Vincent’s Annie Clark, a guest on Season 2, will return.
