If you thought you loved Vanessa Bayer on Saturday Night Live, get ready to fall in love all over again. In her Sound Advice web series, Bayer plays Janessa Slater, a media coach known for shelling out both some not-so-great advice and face-to-face insults to her many top-tier clients in the music industry. Recently, the series has gone viral due to her awkward yet hysterical interviews with "clients" Drake and TV on the Radio.
And now, Janessa Slater is back with a two-part take on New York City's Governors Ball.
In parts one and two, Slater cruises the fields of "Gov Ball" interviewing and offending both bands and fans alike with remarks against their music, their band, their clothes... pretty much anything, really. And of course, given the venue, there's plenty of Brooklyn, hipster and Urban Outfitters jokes piled in there as well. The latter of which appears to be spot-on!
Within the Gov Ball series, those falling victim to Bayer's character are musicians such as Tanlines, Frank Turner, Fun.'s John Antonoff, Michael Fitzpatrick of Fitz and the Tantrums and Interpol's Sam Fogarino.
Check out parts one and two of Bayer's Sound Advice: Governors Ball series below, and be sure to watch until the very end of part two for Fogarino's hilarious break-of-character, which was obviously too good to cut.
Part 1:
Part 2:
It's hard to tell which is better: Bayer's "interviews" with the bands or her discussions with the concertgoers themselves. Either way, we look forward to more Sound Advice in the future.
