Fred Armisen Interviews Alter-Ego

November 21, 2007 AT 11:56AM | Comments (0)

Armisen Last month, we showed you the trailer for the new DVD from Drag City records called Fred Armisen Presents Jens Hanneman Complicated Drum Technique. Now, The Onion AV Club has posted an audio interview with Hanneman by Armisen:

The dryly hilarious DVD follows Hannemann through rehearsals of his complicated compositions ("Molecular Jungle," "Fluid Engine"), and offers beat-by-beat instructions in odd time signatures like 29/2.  In order to conclusively uncover whether Fred Armisen and Jens Hannemann are, in fact, the same person, The A.V. Club asked Armisen to interview Hannemann. The contentious results are presented here in audio format, and the answer is still unclear.

Hear it for yourself by checking out Fred Armisen vs. Jens Hannemann at The AV Club.
