Seth introduced Twitter to the first image of The 8G Band, and now it’s time you learn a bit more about this stacked roster.

Fred Armisen (Bandleader)

You no doubt recognize our bandleader from a little show called Portlandia or, of course, his 11 years on Saturday Night Live. Joining the cast in 2002, Fred Armisen provided SNL with some of the most memorable musical sketches in the show’s history.

Seth Jabour (Guitar) and Syd Butler (Bass)

Joining Fred are Seth and Syd from New York-based indie rockers, Les Savy Fav. Since 1995, Les Savy Fav has been bringing their trademark style of art punk to a legion of rabid fans, who show up in droves for the band’s energetic live shows.

Syd is also the founder of the band’s label, Frenchkiss Records, whose revered roster includes such well-known acts as Bloc Party, The Hold Steady, Local Natives, and Passion Pit.

Kimberly Thompson (Drums)

A graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, Kimberly Thompson has offered her drumming chops to a plethora of musicians, including Beyoncé’s band. Having performed in over 33 countries, Kimberly’s versatility allows her to blur the line between rock, jazz, and R&B.

Eli Janney (Keys)

Since founding hard rock band Girls Against Boys in 1988, Eli Janney has toured the world in support of eight full-length albums and eight EPs. In recent years, he’s also worked behind the scenes as a producer and sound mixer for The Tweens and Drowners on albums released on his fellow 8G Band member Syd Butler’s Frenchkiss Records.
