Flight of the Conchords live at Arovideo — Wednesday 13th February

BREAKING NEWS!

This just in from those fine folk at Arovideo:

It is our plea­sure (and absolute thrill) to announce that Arovideo will be play­ing host to the hottest act in New Zealand (and pos­si­bly the world) right now, “Flight of the Con­chords”.

In sup­port of the local release of their wide­ly-acclaimed HBO TV show on DVD, Bret and Jemaine will be per­form­ing a short set live in store from 10am, Wednes­day the 13th of Feb­ru­ary, at 97 Aro Street in Welling­ton.

Then from 10.30am until 12pm, they will be sign­ing copies of the DVD, which will be avail­able to buy on site at $39.95 for the 2‑disc set.

Space lim­i­ta­tions on the ground floor of our store mean this will be a very inti­mate, exclu­sive event indeed, and entry will be on a “first come, first served” basis. While we can­not guar­an­tee you will gain entry for the per­for­mance itself, their should be ample oppor­tu­ni­ty to meet the guys, espe­cial­ly if you are armed with a copy of their fan­tas­tic DVD! There will be eft­pos facil­i­ties avail­able, though cash is rec­om­mend­ed.

What more do you need to know peo­ple!

Flight of the Conchords: Bret dances when he’s angry

Foot­looseso much to answer for

FOTC Wednesday: Frodo is great.… who is that?

This ia friend­ly pub­lic ser­vice announce­ment that the object of much lust is the sub­ject of a doc­u­men­tary about his being such an object of lust that screens tomor­row night on Prime at 8.30pm. Accord­ing to the IMDB entry, Fro­do Is Great… Who Is That?!!,

The doc­u­men­tary looks at the rise to celebri­ty sta­tus of NZ actor and musi­cian Bret McKen­zie, who appeared for 3 sec­onds as an extra in “The Lord of the Rings: The Fel­low­ship of the Ring”, dur­ing the Coun­cil of Elrond scene. His brief appear­ance sparked a huge inter­net fan-base ded­i­cat­ed to his “brood­ing pout” and “elvish good looks”. McKen­zie has been dubbed “FIGWIT”, an acronym of “Fro­do is Great; Who is That!!?”

So that’s prob­a­bly quite a nice warmup to when Flight of the Con­chords final­ly start screen­ing here on the 17th.

Flight of the Conchords: Bowie Song

It’s Wednes­day! Time for some Con­chords…

Does the space cold make your nip­ples go all pointy?
And do you use your pointy nip­ples as tele­scop­ic anten­na trans­mit­ting data back to Earth?
I bet you do you, you freaky old bas­tard you,
Do you have one real­ly funky sequinned space­suit, man?
Or do you have sev­er­al ch-ch-ch-ch-changes?

Flight of the Conchords: Jenni
