Tonight Tonight in Music: Flight of the Conchords

Posted by on Mon, May 11, 2009 at 9:22 AM

Flight of the Conchords, Arj Barker

Flight of the Conchords mine several musical genres for comedy gold—and platinum, when they're really on. The New Zealand duo (Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement) use rap, folk, French pop, and rock 'n' (d)roll as springboards for lyrical satire and cliché inversions that inspire laughs with nearly every verse. Creating humorous songs that can withstand more than a few listens is incredibly difficult. FOTC's hit-to-miss ratio is phenomenal. (Paramount, 911 Pine St, www.theparamount.com. 7:30 pm, $35.50, all ages. May 11—13.) Dave Segal
