This comedy/folk duo from New Zealand is surprisingly funny.

David Bowie fans will laugh their asses off at this one. They also do a rap battle, and a hilarious ballad about a racist dragon. Check 'em out.

Gotta admit that the show is growing on me.  A friend of mine turned me onto it recently and I'm paying more attention.  It's like a scaled-down "Spinal Tap" that really pokes fun at the state of modern music.  It got the go-ahead from HBO for a 2nd season so somebody is definitely watching.

This show is hilarious. Sadly, I don't get HBO, but their podcast on iTunes has the full 1st and 4th episodes and a bunch of other stuff. It's the indie-folk Spinal Tap

If anything everyone needs to see their "Frodo, don't wear that ring" video from Sunday's episode.  Too funny.

Love this show, and I think their live performances are better than on the show.

Didn't realise they had a show in the states...that's pretty cool.

I agree, their live performances pwn the show!
Recently I went to the states and I saw the "Frodo, don't wear the ring" one and I just makes me feel depressed because their lives on the show suck and they don't do nearly enough songs.

My favorites are Jenny and The Humans are Dead
"BINARY SOLO! 00001 00001 00001 00001 10 0101!"

I got glasses last week and I have a friend who says I look like Jemaine with them on...But no one agress with him, probably because I don't have sideburns. I was pretty flattered though in some ways.
