LCD Soundsystem is teaming up with Amazon Prime to make a Christmas sitcom special starring Eric Wareheim and Macauley Culkin. What?
It’s got to be exhausting to be a successful band today. You can’t just be a band and make records and play shows anymore; you’ve got to become some kind of multimedia pop culture juggernaut, down to do all kinds of ads and promotions and shitty corporate team-ups and. You’ve got be an intellectual property more than a band, more so today than at any point in the history of pop music, and you’ve got to market and merchandise the hell out of that intellectual property. It’s got to be tiring.
Today LCD Soundsystem announced that it’s doing some kind of live show / ‘90s sitcom parody for Amazon Music, in conjunction with Eric Wareheim, that will air on Prime Video and Twitch on Dec. 22. Wareheim will write and direct a live ‘90s-style sitcom called. Wareheim will play LCD’s main man James Murphy, with Macauley Culkin, Christine Ko, Tony Cavalero, Cory Loykasek, Aparna Nancherla, Jon Daly, Rex Lee, Luenell, and a puppet playing different members and managers of the band.
Wareheim, of course, has been parodying the sitcom in various forms for years. Last year he co-created and starred in the sitcom parodyon Adult Swim. Making fun of the Miller-Boyett house style should be second nature for him at this point. LCD Soundsystem, meanwhile, is in the midst of a sold-out 20-show residency in Brooklyn that wraps up the night before this sitcom / concert special airs.
In a press release, Wareheim is quoted as saying “I’ve already conquered film, James has conquered music, but we have yet to conquer the sitcom—the HIGHEST form of art. We’ve been working on this project for 15 years, and for this show we’re unveiling a uniquely emotional perspective of the sitcom universe for the holidays—provided by one of the greatest bands of all time and my dear friends, LCD Soundsystem. I can’t believe Amazon Music is letting us do this.
“I am similarly stunned that someone let us do this,” James Murphy is then quoted in that same press release. “At least we finally get to use our Korey puppet.”
