Les Savy Fav & Fred Armisen, wacky guys

Tonight is the Les Savy Fav, Thunderbirds are Now, Rahim, Fred Armisen show at Bowery Ballroom.

“Les Savy Fav vocalist Tim Harrington presents quite the live spectacle. He’s chubby, bearded, balding and eccentric – like your weird uncle who spent time with a cult in the early ’70s. Your really weird uncle. Harrington once cut off a lock of an audience member’s hair with a knife, then burned it on stage….

…That kind of working-without-a-net spirit has endeared the band to fans, among them “Saturday Night Live” cast member Fred Armisen, who will be the opening act for the LSF in tonight’s show at Bowery Ballroom. Armisen, a former drummer for punk band Trenchmouth, met the LSF through a mutual friend, David Cross, of “Arrested Development” fame, and has since toured with the band whenever “SNL” is on hiatus.” [Daily News]
