Glenn Danzig will make a guest appearance on the sketch comedy show Portlandia this Thursday, February 11th.

In the episode, titled Weirdo Beach, Danzig plays a Romanian man who — by the singer's estimation — could be an "ancient vampire" named Radu. His purpose, other than to chill on the beach, is to educate Fred Armisen's goth character on how to relax in the sand. "My friend, you need a beach outfit," Danzig's character says, as ominous music plays. "But the beach, it has its own expression, its own style. Let me share with you what I have found. Are you familiar ... with Billabong?"

The "Evil Elvis" tells Kory Grow of RollingStone.com that the whole experience of filming the episode was fun and hilarious, an excerpt from their interview follows.

Why did you want to do Portlandia?

"I'm a big Fred Armisen fan. I love also what he and Carrie do on Portlandia. They sent me the script one evening after I had just gotten off tour. It was kind of very, like, quick. They wanted an answer really quick because they had tried to get in touch with me but couldn't. They had already hired somebody else [laughs]. They were like, 'If you want to do this, you have to come up here tonight.' So I read the script and it was just too funny! I had to do it. It's hilarious."

Did doing Portlandia make you want to act?

"You know, I get offered stuff here and there, and a lot of stuff I turn down. If it's something of substance, something cool like this, then yeah. It's a lot of fun to do. It was just really easy working with Fred and Carrie. It was so laid-back. If it was always like that, I'd probably do it a lot more [laughs]."
