Tour Dates: It’s Business Time

Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, better known as Flight of the Conchords, will release their full length debut on April 22. And come this May the Aucklanders will hit the theater circuit bringing New Zealand’s fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo to select cities. I have a feeling they probably won’t have to worry that Mel will be the only fan in attendance.
