Flight of the Conchords Appreciation Thread

First off, the search function basically doesn't work on my phone. If there is another thread (has to be old AF, though!), feel free to bump it and lock this sum'bitch.

Anyway, the hilarious New Zealand duo is back and are currently touring the US, playing lots of new material, as well as the classics.

I was forurnate enough to see them at the amazing Red Rocks venue in Colorado last night. It was my first time there, and it is as grand as people say. Add in the most gorgeous evening of weather, god damn.

And the two are as great as ever. It's been so long since they've done anything new together. They opened with a new song about "this is how we party," and it's about very specific things about parties, like putting new beers in the cooler when taking out cold ones, and silly shit like that, lol. The best new song, and probably the best overall that night, was a frantic jazz song called "Shady Rachel," which was about a suspected spoon thief that goes all over the place before coming together in a great way. Then, of course, there were several amazing selections from their past catalog. "Business Time," "Hurt Feelings," "Issues (Think About It)," "Bowie's in Space," etc.

I was with great company, too, so the entire night was a success.

Anyway, I'm now REALLY eager to hear the new stuff again, but they were very direct about people not recording. Hopefully and album comes out sooner than later!

I flippin' love FOTC!

Shippy, I know this is not exactly what you had in mind.....but how could I not post this here?!!! So funny....lol.

I love FOTC! I hope they tour the UK. Hurt Feelings was one of my favourite songs. Shame the last episode was kinda sad and dry, but it had to be done. There's been rumours of a movie for a while but don't think it ever happened.

PS: You were at Red Rocks???? Whoah! I've always wanted to see a show there!

^^^^ Dude, Red Rocks is fucking awesome. Our seats were badass, too. Perfect sight line and sound. And lots of good concentrates 😉

Never managed to catch a show there but it is indeed spectacular.

I shed the tears of a rapper and a laugher last night!

I used to love their HBO show. Business Time is my favorite song of theirs.

Jealous that you saw that. Are they as fun and cool in person?

I expected greatness and was blown away. Like I said up top, their new material was so, so good and I'm seriously sad that it isn't available to listen to yet. Their banter was on point and the old songs were obviously great. Some of the really, really old ones they kind of fucked up the lyrics, but it just added to the charm of the night.

I'm not sure if you know of or have seen photos of Red Rocks Ampitheater, but it is a destination venue, for sure. So beautiful! And the Colorado weather was fantastic that evening.

10/10!
