St. Vincent's Annie Clark is currently on tour in support of her recent self-titled album, but she found time to help out her friend Carrie Brownstein on the IFC sketch series Portlandia. In a preview of this week's episode, we see Clark stepping up to the plate during an intervention for Brownstein's Hard Rock Café-loving tax lawyer boyfriend, who is trying to become a bassist.
Brownstein likes that her new boyfriend has a traditional job and freaks out once she sees him attempting to play bass in the bedroom. Clark intervenes, "Hi Sean, I'm Annie. I have a band called St. Vincent. I tour; I'm a professional musician. When I was little, I loved Lauryn Hill. Miseducation, who hasn't heard that record? It's great. Where is she right now? In jail for tax evasion. You think she had a good tax lawyer behind her? He's probably playing bass in her band."
This isn't the first time Clark has made a cameo on the show. Back in 2012, she played a model who showed off a proposed police-uniform redesign for the city.
The current season of Portlandia also features cameos from Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy, TV on the Radio's Tunde Adebimpe and Duff McKagan.
