Alex Zhang Hungtai (Dirty Beaches, Last Lizard) Appears on “Twin Peaks”

The return of “Twin Peaks” on Showtime continued tonight. For the show’s fifth episode, Alex Zhang Hungtai of Dirty Beaches/Last Lizard made an appearance. His cameo was as a member of the band Trouble, which performs at the Roadhouse near the end of the new episode. Other members of the band include David Lynch’s son, Riley Lynch, and longtime Lynch engineer Dean Hurley. Listen to Trouble’s song “Snake Eyes” below. Last month saw Hungtai release new music as a member of a new trio, Love Theme. Hulu subscribers can find the new episode here.

Elsewhere in the episode are Naomi Watts, Jim Belushi, and Amanda Seyfried. Thus far, the revived series has featured a bizarre appearance from Michael Cera and some episode-ending performances from Chromatics, Au Revoir Simone, and the Cactus Blossoms. Chromatics played their song, “Shadow,” which will appear on one of two forthcoming soundtracks. Watch their new music video for the song here, and if you haven’t caught up with the show since it returned, check out the first two episodes.
