Artist Spotlight - Flight of the Conchords

Ok, HBO’s summer lineup wasn’t looking too hot last year.John From Cincinnati was an unintelligent mess and we were still waiting for Entourage to come back. However, a pleasant surprise from New Zealand came in the form of folk-rock-comedy duo Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement came to American TV with their self-titled show. The first season was an odd and quirky blend of dry wit and humor that played on the duo being mistaken as Austrialians, dealing with oddball girlfriends and their one or two fans and their too punctual manager, Murray. Don’t worry, the guys’ show got picked up for a second season, which starts in late June. But the duo is on tour now behind their self-titled album, which shocked everyone by debuting at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums last month. Most of the songs were heard on the show last year and is a prime example of the bands’ humor. The band is out on the road throughout the month.
Flight of the Conchords are at the Michigan Theater on Saturday May 10th. Tickets are SOLD OUT. If tickets become available, they will do so at www.ticketmaster.com. Additional dates can be found at their record label’s website at www.subpop.com.
