Flight of the Conchords - 2009 Tour Dates (Radio City MH)

FOTC @ Sasquatch 2008 (more by Chris Graham)
FOTC

U.S. cult hit television show "Flight of the Conchords" follows the travails of a marginally talented musical duo from New Zealand trying to make it in New York City, but in reality the pair are far from struggling.

Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie already have one Grammy, have been nominated for another and the second series of their Emmy-nominated show returned to HBO cable network this month after an absence of more than a year.

James Bobin, co-creator and executive producer, said the second series was delayed by the 14-week writers strike, which ended in February last year, and "the boat to New Zealand," chimed in McKenzie at the show's red carpet launch this week.

McKenzie, 32, and Clement, 35, university friends who formed "Flight of the Conchords" a decade ago to improve their guitar skills, said they set out to make a "funny and musical" TV show and that creating the second series was a little easier.

"When we first started we didn't know what we were doing," said Clement. "We watched lots of sitcoms on video because we had never written one, none of us had written one before." [Reuters]

Season two of the TV show is airing on HBO now (Sundays at 10PM to be exact).

FOTCTickets go on Ticketmaster presale Monday February 2nd at 10AM for a new North American FOTC tour that includes an April 14th show at the elegant Radio City Music Hall in NYC.

In other comedy duo news, Tim & Eric play Nokia Theatre in NYC TONIGHT (Friday January 30th), and Cheech & Chong are at Radio City Music Hall tomorrow (Saturday January 31st).

are they worth seeing?

Posted by Anonymous | January 30, 2009 4:59 PM

as long as they remember the dad guitar, they'll be worth seeing.

The crowds at these shows are absolutely awe-inspiringly annoying. That element alone might prevent me from attending. But, the Conchords are really funny and enjoyable live.

Posted by Anonymous | January 30, 2009 5:05 PM

will this sell out in a split second like the town hall shows last year?

Posted by wembley | January 30, 2009 5:06 PM

They have a show at the University of Texas' Bass Concert Hall on May 7. I just got an e-mail about it.

Posted by Edgar P | January 30, 2009 5:12 PM

This will sell out VERY FAST. New season underway, onsale next week.... fast for sure

dad guitar

Posted by Anonymous | January 30, 2009 5:27 PM

The songs are by far the worst part of the tv show. So I can't imagine that seeing them do those songs live would be enjoyable.

Posted by Anonymous | January 30, 2009 5:29 PM

You'd imagine wrong.

the new season seems kind of weak.

anonymous? check.

brooklyn vegan? check.

murray? check.

The promoters underestimated how many tickets they would sell the last time around. They were at the height of their popularity, tickets were cheap and Town Hall was a very small venue.

Do you think they will make the same mistake twice? Radio City is much much larger. I am pretty sure they will add shows for April 15 and 16 as well. The first show might sell out fast thanks to all the little scalper wannabes of whom we have so many here. Then they will announce the second show and if necessary the third one. Eventually there will be tons of tickets on craigslist, etc.

well put 11:16 that very well might be the case

ugh why is it the same night as dmb. 1 in 365 chance of that.

Posted by Anonymous | January 31, 2009 1:05 PM

so how does one get in on the presale?

Posted by Anonymous | January 31, 2009 1:53 PM

corny bullshit

Posted by Anonymous | January 31, 2009 1:58 PM

1:05, ugh, why would you want to see dmb?

thankfully, given that it's the same night, there's now a slightly lower chance of annoying frat douches at radio city

it's not funny :(

it just isn't


Posted by Anonymous | January 31, 2009 4:23 PM

Posted by Walfredo | January 31, 2009 10:06 PM

the crowd does make it really difficult to enjoy... people yell out the "punchlines", etc...

Posted by Anonymous | February 1, 2009 10:59 AM

The show is hilarious but mainly for the dialogue and characters, the songs are mostly just well-constructed imitations.

Posted by Rich | February 1, 2009 4:36 PM

so whats the presale deal? Need a code or something?

Posted by Anonymous | February 2, 2009 9:23 AM

That presale went REALLY fast. I had my figurative/computer hands on second row tickets but I waited too long; when I tried again, the best tickets I could find were third mezzanine!!

Posted by Anonymous | February 2, 2009 10:40 AM

Anyone know if they'll have a backup band or if it will just be the two of them?

Posted by Max | February 8, 2009 3:23 AM

Would really provide useful information. Thank you.

I would love to see them at the Fox in Atlanta. Nice venue for them to play at.

Posted by Acai Berry | September 15, 2009 6:02 PM

Oh man, I've been a fan of FOTC for a long while now!!! Can't wait to see these guys when they come back to the OC.

Posted by Acai Berry | September 19, 2009 8:07 PM

These guys are phenomenal musicians. I wish they would come up to Canada.

Posted by Acai | September 19, 2009 11:09 PM

Posted by tevez | September 21, 2009 2:47 PM

That element alone might prevent me from attending. But, the Conchords are really funny and enjoyable live.

The Conchords are really funny and enjoyable live.

Posted by Resveratrol | September 22, 2009 3:14 PM

Flight of the Conchords is my favorite show. I am going to catch their show in Boston, MA. Not sure why the crowd would be so bad??? Well, I'll let you know...

Posted by Juan Acai | October 2, 2009 2:37 PM

These guys put on a great show you all should see them perform, they have talent.

Same thing here, deeply motivated but no current ideas

Posted by Provillus | October 3, 2011 3:13 PM

Took me time to find out all the releases, but I adore the article. Some people know that it’s more simple to get essay writing than to do by own efforts.
