We already knew that Glenn Danzig would be one of the guests on season 6 of Carrie Brownstein & Fred Armisen’s show Portlandia, and now Pitchfork points out IFC announced the premiere date (January 21) and more guests:

Guest stars coming to Portlandia this season include Jillian Bell (Workaholics), Louis C.K. (Louie), musician Wayne Coyne and The Flaming Lips, rocker Glenn Danzig, Gregory Gourdet (Top Chef), Mitchell Hurwitz (Arrested Development), Moshe Kasher (Another Period), Zoe Kravitz (Dope, Mad Max), John Levenstein (Kroll Show), NPR’s Kai Ryssdal, Alia Shawkat (Arrested Development), Robert Smigel (Saturday Night Live), and Bitsie Tulloch (rimm).

Returning guest stars include Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire), Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is the New Black), and Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley).

Sounds great as always. While you wait for January 21 to roll around, you can catch up on the first five seasons on Netflix.

Carrie Brownstein’s new memoir is out now and we just interviewed her about that and other things. Sleater-Kinney are touring soon too, including five NYC shows in December. Most are sold out but tickets for some are still available.

The Flaming Lips are also touring soon as Miley Cyrus’s backing band, and with Dan Deacon opening. They’re also giving a physical release to their Christmas single with Yoko Ono, and an autographed copy is one of the items being auctioned off with proceeds going to Surfer Blood’s Thomas Fekete, who is battling cancer.
