I managed to get a pretty good seat for this show. It'll be my first time seeing the guys live, but I've been a fan since the release of the HBO One Night Stand special. Can't wait!

Hi Bozarth! Welcome to the MB! :#cheer#: :#cheer#:
You're in for a real treat!! My favourite thing about their live shows is their banter in between songs, which if you've seen one night stand you know all about but there's nothing better than seeing it live!! :#rofl#:
I hope you have a great time at the show! :#buttrock#:

Welcome Bozart! :#wave#:
I will just reiterate what these ladies have already said, you're in for a treat and an amazing evening. In my opinion, there's nothing better than the Conchords live. :;

That's so weird. And these shows weren't added later, right? Because I could understand a little bit if these were the shows that were added a couple of weeks later, but I believe they were part of the original tour announcement. I feel bad for the people, like me, who really enjoy the posters and are missing out.

They came, they saw, they Conchord
Rachel Bellwoar
June 14, 2016 in Music
- Spoiler:
New Zealand’s “double one-man band,” a novelty folk duo probably best known for their eponymous musical-comedy HBO series, were at the Mann Center Sunday night on the third stop of their North American “Flight of the Conchords Sing Flight of the Conchords Tour.” Comedian Arj Barker, who appears as their friend “Dave” on the HBO show, opened.
A central park in Newark
Following their “Seagull” approach, Jemaine’s accidental breaking of a guitar string (
before the duo even started their set)
is the perfect metaphor for what makes these musical comedians so effective: They’re relatable. No false projection of perfection here. Just your everyday, unpredictable hiccups most shows try to gloss over.
Flight of the Conchords accepts hiccups. When Jemaine later thought his guitar might be out of tune, he stopped playing to check. He probably could have gotten away with it and waited until the next break between numbers to fix it discreetly. This patron doubts she would’ve noticed. The point, however, is that they cared and were confident enough to stop—acknowledge humanity’s propensity for mischance, with a refreshing break from plan, and carry on.
The music resumed and laughs were easy and frequent.
New Zealand: Why not?
While Bret’s wrinkled shirt was quite “punk” and the swift arrival of a replacement guitar for Jemaine almost “rock and roll,” at their heart Bret and Jemaine come across as two classy guys who happen to be hilarious. Always aware of guests onstage (
cellist Nigel Collins, introduced as “New Zealand’s Symphony Orchestra” was a welcome accompanist)
, the band mixed Conchord classics (
their show pilot’s "
The Most Beautiful Girl (
In the Room"
)
with new material that was just as good. “Shady Rachel,” in particular, about a suspected spoon thief, was a highlight.
Because the band’s songs are stylistically eclectic, a wide variety of genres had to be tackled. Creative changes to lighting and live video feeds helped with the jumps. “Shady Rachel” featured jazzy shadows and close-ups;
“1353 (
Woo a Lady)
,” a medieval courtship song with recorders, was a little harder to express onscreen.
Audience members shouted out song requests, though ultimately only a pre-show birthday wish made it through (
the band needed to Google the lyrics to one of their own older songs)
. But whatever your feelings on “Foux du Fafa” (
which made the cut)
or “Hiphopapotamus vs Rhymenoceros” (
which didn’t)
, a desire for more, rather than any great disappointment in the set list, drove their enthusiasm.
I'
m not crying, it'
s just raining on my face
With their choice in closing numbers, at least, the band couldn’t have made for a more powerful finale: “Bowie’s in Space” ended the main set (
see Jemaine’s tribute essay to David Bowie here)
, and “Think About It” closed the encore.
According to setlist.fm these were the same closers the band used the day before. Final lyric, “Jammin’ out, just jammin’ out, yeah, yeah,” does seem to set up a fine exit stage left.
On this night, however, following the news of the Orlando massacre earlier in the day, it was the “Think About It” lyric, “What’s wrong with the world today?” that stood out. FoTC made it just a little less wrong in all the right ways.

[size=150:8yr1e3xn][url=CONCERT REVIEW: Flight of the Conchords at the Mann][/url]
The New Zealand comedy folk-rock duo brought out the laughs.
BY CHRIS SIKICH | JUNE 16, 2016 AT 6:52 PM
- Spoiler:
Playing as a band that claims to be the first New Zealand duo, they lampoon what it is to be a thirty-something male in the new millennium. And they also often act as though they do not know what they are doing, as Clement broke a string on the first song, or so it appeared. Explaining how rock and roll that is, as well as the wrinkly white shirt McKenzie was wearing, they want the audience to feel so much smarter than them.
This is what makes songs like “Business Time” so brilliant. A tune about lovemaking that is so lost in the ego of the dumb narrator, we laugh because we understand and we hopefully are better than what is implied. Other works like “1353 (
Woo a Lady)
” and “Bowie” show their true musical talents. The former is framed as a medieval tune (
complete with a recorder solo)
, while the latter is a take on David Bowie that is a perfect homage and remembrance.
A band playing to their older material, the Flight of the Conchords’ continued tight-knit interplay hopefully suggests not only more future music but also something new for the silver or big screen.

OK, so apparently the person who told me there was no poster at the Philly show never saw this...

Have you heard of the musical/comedy duo "
Flight of the Conchords"
? Of course you have, who hasn't? I had the distinct pleasure of creating a gig poster for them. The show was in Philly on June 12. So if you were there, grab a souvenir! Or if you missed the show, grab a souvenir and tell everyone you were there!
The artist proofs are 18 by 24 inches and available for $40, signed and numbered.

That first review was lovely. I especially loved this:
Yis.
And the poster for Philly!!! It's wonderful! I didn't think they got one! I have a friend or 7 who will be very interested in this! Thanks!
...at their heart Bret and Jemaine come across as two classy guys who happen to be hilarious.
