Thanks for posting these Tan! Nice to come home to after a long ass day at work. ;<br />D

Jemaine is the sexiest person to ever wear a tux tee and be able to pull it off... actually he more than pulls it off.. I think he gives a new coolness to tux tees. Pretty soon everyone will be wearing them! <img src=" title="Razz" border="0"/>

Too hot!

Rolling Stone had a very short write-up of the Conchords show, along with a photo:
[image]


The challenge of Flight of the Conchords: Overcome the convenience of TV to impress a crowd of 10,000 on the Sasquatch mainstage. Jemaine Clement and Brett McKenzie made good use of the space, sitting on stools at the front of the stage, so dwarfed by their surroundings that it was impossible to not get drawn into their shtick. They seemed genuinely honored to be there, and closed their set with "
Angels,"
perfectly (and hilariously) describing the late afternoon Washington sky: "
There are angels in the clouds ... Doin' it/Doin' it doin' it doin' it doin' it doin' it doin' it doin' it/In the clouds."

I read this on someone's blog about Michael Ian Black show at Sasquatch! and thought it was interesting:

By the time he took the stage, the Flight of the Conchords had just wrapped up on the mainstage, and he used that opportunity to proclaim “I could be that famous too, if I had an accent.” Then he told the story about how he met the FotC at the premier for his new movie Run, Fatboy, Run, and they sorta blew him off. He introduced himself to them, said he wrote the movie they just saw, and they were like “Oh.” They could’ve said they liked the movie, but they didn’t say that. Then he walked around the stage a little bit, pretending to be hurt.

The crowd laughed, he turned pouted, then he turned towards the mainstage and flipped them off. It was a little more bitter than funny, and definitely awkward. But whatever, Michael Ian Black loves awkward.

Aw, Michael don't hate on the Conchords!

The A.V. Club on their set, with tiny photo:

[image]

6pm Free at last! I make it to the main lawn in time to see Flight Of The Conchords settle in on stools near the lip of the stage, the chorus of screams growing to Beatlemania proportions. Who knew so many people had HBO subscriptions? With little more than a shy, "
Hello,"
New Zealand's formerly fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo a capella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo get this irony party started with "
Too Many Mother'uckers ('ucking Up My shii)"
as the not-as-tiny-in-real-life Bret McKenzie wields a fiery red key-tar. While the songs are laugh-out-loud funny (though their TV show and CD have ensured virtually no surprises), the best bits are the in-between patter. Witness this exchange, and try to imagine, say, The Mars Volta pulling it off: "
We're a real band,"
Bret says. "
We're a band that does songs, then we talk about things between songs, then it's time to play another song."
"
Yes, that's pretty much the structure,"
Jemaine Clement concurs. "
People say we're not a real band, but look, we've got all this band stuff."
"
Can I get more feedback in this thing?"
Bret says. "
Can I get this thing removed?"
Jemaine says, pointing to the microphone. "
It's making my voice too loud."
"
So, because we're a real band, we've been hanging out backstage doing band things with the other bands. Jemaine, how many blowjobs did you get?"
"
47. You can hear some of them cheering out here... Thank you."
(Believe me, I could go on and on.)

6:15pm Although it's perhaps more suited for the cozy confines of a club—and here it's nearly drowned out by this easily excitable crowd—The Conchords' set is one of the far and away highlights of the weekend. During "
Business Time,"
someone in the front row sets a blow-up sex doll aloft—which seems like quite a lot of planning (and inflating) for a silly concert prop that gets confiscated quickly. During "
Robot Song (The Humans Are Dead),"
Jemaine improvises some lyrics about how, now that the robots have all taken over, the architecture is all about domes—"
including the Honey Buckets. Domed Honey Buckets for everyone."
[Note: For those of you who, like me, are not from around here, the portable toilets here are all emblazoned with the word "
Honey Bucket"
—which I found amusing enough to take a photo of on Day One, prompting my haughty new friends from The Stranger to sniff that "
everybody in Seattle is so over that."
Well what-'ucking-ever, ladies.)

6:35pm Shortly after "
The Most Beautiful Girl In The Room,"
somebody throws a bra up on stage. "
That's our first bra!"
Jemaine exclaims. And it probably won't be the last, judging by the amount of love the women obviously have for these dudes—such as the two teen girls I see with matching, homemade, glitter-paint "
Flight Of The Conchords Fanbase"
shirts. (The back reads, "
That IS what I'm into."
Referential!)

Thaaaanks! I've been looking around myself... so far I've found a pretty nice set on Flickr. I can't download them, so I won't post them... though I did screen cap them. ;<br />D

Since I can't post them, here's the link:

Haha. That "
