The Blue Jean Committee (Documentary Now!)

This is one of two bands by this name featuring Fred Armisen. The other is at The Blue Jean Committee (Saturday Night Live).

Soft rock supergroup featured in the behind-the-scenes documentary "Gentle & Soft: The Story of the Blue Jean Committee." Or maybe they're a fake band created by ex-SNL players Fred Armisen and Bill Hader for IFC's Documentary Now! parody show. The two-part documentary (first aired 24 Sept. 2015) chronicles how Clark Honus (Hader) and Gene Allen (Armisen) transformed themselves from a tough Chicago band to a soft, Eagles/Steely Dan/Bread-y California act and recorded Catalina Breeze.

Indie label Drag City released a seven-track version of Catalina Breeze.
