flight of the conchords

May 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment

My friend Kate introduced Flight of the Conchords to us this past summer. If you don’t know who they are, they’re New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo. They were number three, but the tribute band ‘Like of the Conchords’ has taken over that spot. They have a show on HBO which highlights their efforts to make it big in New York, but really I think the following youtube clip sums up their act pretty well.

They performed at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby last week, and my friend Ryan was nice enough to send over the set list.

    You missed “Freebird.” I don’t remember where in the list they played it, but they definitely did. When a band actually obliges the audience cry of “PLAY FREEBIRD” it must be recorded in the annals of history.
