We went up to Kent OH last night to see Flight of the Conchords. Show was great, venue was questionable. Kiesha even got the band (and Kristen Schaal) to sign her record and take photos.
The show reminded me how much I love Carol Brown (Choir of Ex Girlfriends), from the second season. You can download the song on iTunes. Here’s the super sweet video, directed by Michel Gondry.
I was out of town on business and the one record store I went to was wiped out by noon. What did everyone buy? Did you see any good bands, etc? Let me live my life through you.
(Luckily my wife was able to at least score us the Flight of the Conchords 7″ and Andrew Bird/Loney Dear)
Flight of the Conchords are heading back on tour. We saw them in Columbus a few months ago, and it was one of the best shows of the year. Click here for presale info (password sugarlumps)
