The Flight of the Conchords Concert

The Flight of the Conchords in thier most majestic pose Last night, Ogle Meagan and I went to go the Flight of the Conchords in concert at the Nokia Theatre. It was a really good show. The opening act was a comedian named Eugene Mirman, who also has a couple of guest appearnces on the Flight of the Conchords show on HBO.

Even though the show started about a half hour late, it was still worth it. The whole theatre was sold out and fans had been there for some time in hopes to just get a glimpse of the infamous duo.

They opened up the show with a techno song called "Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor" and they were dressed up in space suites with oversized square helmets on.
The band played for about an hour and a half and had two, that is right kids you are reading this correctly, two encores. They would talk and make jokes between the songs and they were amazed about how many condom shops there were in Dallas.
They ended the show with them dressed up as David Bowie and some pimp from the 70s. Lights were flashing all over the place and Jermaine (the one on the right) was going crazy on the drums. He would hit a cymbol once and then throw the drum stick to the crowd over and over again while Bret (the one on the left) was playing the guitar as fast and as awesome as he could. Awesome show and I cant wait to see them again.
You can find a review of the concert I went to here and one of my favorite songs that they do here.
