Flight of the Conchords
This is really only tangentially related to music, but they're comedians who sing, so I'm going to go for it. New Zealand duo Flight of the Conchords have been all over New York City recently, pimping the start of their new HBO series, which premiered Sunday, although I'm sure it's on like 70 billion times during the week. And, or, you can watch it online here. It's funny as heck. The premise of the show is that Bret and Jemaine are in New York trying to break into show business, but the actual storyline follows their more mundane antics as they crash parties and break hearts. Oh yeah, and they break into song about every two minutes. It's totally absurd, and deserves to find a real audience.
Brooklyn Vegan has a review of their live show at Gramercy Theater from last week. And, to get back to the music, here's the Conchords performing "Bowie in Space."
I love it! Space IS a freaky place.
