The Redmond, WA stop on Courtney Barnett‘s Here And There festival turned into an ’80s workout video on Sunday as the singer-songwriter joined Sleater-Kinney and Fred Armisen on a cover of Olivia Newton-John‘s “Physical”. The tribute to the late pop singer and Grease star who died earlier this month took place during Sleater-Kinney’s set as part of the traveling festival’s show at Marymoor Park.
Barnett and Armisen emerged to join Carrie Brownstein and Corin Tucker, complete with sweatbands, on a rendition of ONJ’s 1981 chart-topper. While Barnett contributed instrumentally, Armisen led the crowd in an aerobic workout alongside Tucker.
