Bill Hader and Fred Armisen return to satirize some of cinemas greatest non-fiction feature films in the second season of their IFC series Documentary Now! During the shows second season, which premieres Wednesday, one of Hader and Armisens victims is the Talking Heads 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense. For the episode, the former SNL co-stars invented a very Heads-esque band called Test Pattern, which made their live debut Tuesday on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
For the unique performance, the iconic art-rock band from Connecticut via the Lower East Side, as Meyers called Test Pattern during their introduction, played their track Art + Student = Poor, a jittery Talking Heads parody that wouldnt sound out of place on that bands debut Talking Heads: 77.
This isnt the first time Hader and Armisen have formed a band in the name of mockumentary: For season one, the duo concocted Blue Jean Committee, an Eagles-inspired soft-rock troupe that even released their own EP, Catalina Breeze.
