The finale of the first season of Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney on Netflix closed with Sleater-Kinney and Fred Armisen covering Kim Wilde’s ’80s classic “Kids in America.” For the season wrap party, Mulaney asked them to perform a few Ramones covers. They had so much fun doing it, they decided to keep it going. They learned a full set and played two sold-out Halloween shows in Portland and you can watch video of that below.
Having now given the group a name, The Return of Jackie and Judy (named after a song on the band’s 1980 album End of the Century), they’re taking the tribute act on the road. So far they’ve only announced one show — Bottlerock in Napa, CA in June — but they say we can expect a few more “select live appearances across the country.”
Stay tuned.
