Flight of The Conchords
The Heath at The McKittrick Hotel
June 1st

THEY BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well, the never really went away – juss got all big and Hollywooded, but no matter how many riches and fames they’ve accumulated, they will always be good ole Bret and Jemaine, or good ole Jemaine and Bret (depending on how you like to order your favorite Kiwis) of Flight of the Conchords.

After a 3 year break from touring, the boys are about to embark on a big tour, and so they needed to fine tune their roadshow before showing the road, and set up a 5 night residency at the Heath. For some reason I skipped out on their last tour, so it has been 7 years since I last saw them live, but now I got to see them in a venue that only served 200, and all 200 of us were well served.

Sure, B &
J sounded a little raw and undisciplined – starting and stopping and restarting tunes new and old, constantly being out of rhythm with one another, but luckily these two can fill dead air and stage hiccups with endless witty stage banter, like Jemaine asking the audience if they actually paid money to see this show [we all happily did]. But none of us cared how unvarnished the presentation was – cause we were all there to laugh with them, and at them (no one does self-deprecating humor like them), and so we did.

They tried out 5 to 6 new/newish songs (see setlist below), and while these newbies don’t seem destined top anything they’ve created before, they were good enuff for everyone to sit thru AND thoroughly enjoy. Most times you don’t want to hear any band play any new stuff, but most bands aren’t this one and that’s both a good thing AND a bad thing. And the old stuff? Still AWESOME, after all these years! Even a song like ‘Bowie’, which was a once a creative lark, is now a song of soulful passion – a valentine to a man they and we love(d), who once fell to earth, but is now back in the stars, forever orbiting in greatness.

Maybe one day someone will write a song about how great the Flight of the Conchords are. That would be some mighty meta stuff there – meta world peace yo!

I'm going to refrain from looking at any vids or setlists or possible spoilers. I don't think this would be the case if I wasn't seeing them in about a week.

My first show is in 23 days. There's no way I can resist anything. :#sadno#: Maybe if I didn't run this board and need to post stuff so people will come visit it would be easier. :#haha#: Probably not though.

I think they're just crude wooden stools/boxes? Have seen similar things in Austin.

Been seeing the reposts on Instagram, so was like, oh yeah, I bet people are posting on the board again! :#idea#: :#haha#:
