Flight of the Conchords @ Mo Pitkins - 7.17.6
NOTES
--Comedian Kristen Schaal and televison executive Lisa Leingang were both SPOTTED at the performance. Kristen, incidentally, was also SPOTTED after the show in a commercial on television for Starburst fruit chews!
--Flight of The Conchords, "New Zealand's 4th greatest folk duo", played a loose 8 song set, which they referred to as "a rusty blast" because they haven't played out in a while. FOTC did not perform last year's breakout US single, Business Time. Scheduled performers Rhys Darby and Arj Barker were replaced with unscheduled performer, Aziz Ansari.
--Since there was a 10-year old kid in the crowd, it probably goes without saying that 10 year old kids probably DO NOT belong at a comedy show when Aziz is working blue. Get a babysitter, new age parents!
--One high-energy fan howled using a rather extreme volume, "I love you, Jemaine!!!!"
--What is FOTC doing here? Brett & Jemaine have another sold out show TONIGHT at Mo's, but they usually play bigger venues when they're here... so these sudden gigs have the feel and texture of STUBBLY BEARDS. Are they shooting something in NYC? Are they signing a huge deal?
--FOTC's Top 24 MySpace Friends include notables like Eddie Izzard, Eugene Mirman, and Demetri Martin.
--Here's a narrative recap of the show as told by one FOTC superfan.
