[flight of the conchords]
Thursday, June 14th, 2007I’ve worked on music research with mike and marios for years now, but since we have such disparate taste, we’ve never all been to a concert together… until tonight. We went to see The Flight of the Conchords, “New Zeland’s fourth most popular folk-parody duo.”
After only just finding out about the show today, we turned up at the venue without tickets and were welcomed by the “SOLD OUT” billboard. Undetered, we proceeded to the box office where we were informed that there were two tickets left. After a few minutes pleading with the salesperson, making various financial offers, and finally discussing which two of us should go in, they let us all in… for free!
We got in just in time to hear “Business Time,” a song that has sustained an uncountable number of inside jokes for my friends and me over the past few months. (Who plays their most popular song at the beginning of the set?) The show was hillarious - we belly laughed the whole time. My only regret was that they didn’t play the “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros” gangster rap battle, but for the price I can’t reasonably complain.
You can watch the first episode of their new hbo series here.
