ThunderAnt is the comedy side-project of Saturday Night Live cast member, Fred Armisen, and musician Carrie Brownstein. Fred began his career in entertainment as a punk drummer. In the 90's, he played with Trenchmouth and toured with Those Bastard Souls. Carrie Brownstein played guitar in the Portland trio Sleater-Kinney from the early 90's until 2006. Somewhere along the way, Armisen and Brownstein met and became friends. Later, when Armisen was cast on Saturday Night Live, he and Brownstein formed a two person comedy troupe in between seasons. The result was a fun collection of 'video skits' released on ThunderAnt.net. Most episodes exist in their own universe, but they do have a recurring sketch called 'Feminist Bookstore'. Two middle aged women just trying to make a living and enrich the community with their bookstore. Although most ThunderAnt videos were created in 2007/2008, they still post episodes every once in a while.
