Fresh off his stint as a fictional bassist in a terrible band in Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Michael Cera has become a real bassist in an awesome-sounding band called Mister Heavenly. The band is a sort of indie rock who’s-who with members of Man Man, Islands, and Modest Mouse, and they’re currently on tour with Passion Pit. You can be certain that this is the most Pitchfork-y, indie thing we’ll ever write.
Cera played his first live show with the band this week in Seattle and plans to travel with them for the duration of the tour. The band, who is signed to Sub-Pop records, says he’s not an official member, he’s just working with them for this tour, so don’t worry, he’s not going all Jared Leto-30 Seconds To Mars on us and forget his acting altogether.
See video of their show—with Cera saying hello to “Port-land? Port-LAND?”—after the jump.
