Video: Actor Michael Cera joins indie-supergroup Mister Heavenly on stage
The Internet has been abuzz all week with news about Mister Heavenly. On Monday, Sub Pop Records released a statement announcing it had signed the new band (which features Philly’s own Honus Honus from Man Man, Islands/Unicorns frontman Nick Thorburn, and Modest Mouse drummer Joe Plummer)—immediately propelling the term “indie supergroup” hurtling throughout the blogosphere for the first time since waaay back in early November (when the Carrie Brownstein-led Wild Flag made its debut). A day later, the word got out that actor Michael Cera—who, previously, had only played bass with fictional bands in films such as Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist and Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World—joined the band on stage during its debut show in Seattle on Tuesday night. At which point the online masses went into full-blown hysteria, prompting Sub Pop to mention that he wasn’t an official member of the band, and was only filling in on bass during the West Coast tour. Then, just this morning, Pitchfork posted a link to a blog that has a bunch of videos from the band’s second show in Portland; we’ve posted a couple of videos below, you can visit the site the watch the rest.
