SNL's Vanessa Bayer Roasts Hardcore Group UNITED NATIONS

...an amazing job by a true pro!

United Nations is an excellent hardcore band fronted by Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly.

In attendance was SNL's Vanessa Bayer, sister of Jonah Bayer who plays guitar in the group. Vanessa was kind enough to "roast" the band before the started performing, although it comes off more as an anti-roast, and in fact a lot like her young Bar Mitzvah boy character, Jacob, on SNL – an absolute favorite of mine. Still, the clip is pretty funny:
