Flight Of The Conchords

The cheeky Kiwis descend on an unsuspecting Upper Darby.

by Katie Karas

If you're itching for some business time with the two sexiest New Zealanders to ever shake their sugar lumps on HBO, the Flight of the Conchords boys will be in Upper Darby this week. (There was more competition in that category than you'd think. No, really.) Also known as Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement, they'll take you time-tripping, back to the era of Bowie or maybe to the future where the humans are dead.

If the previous paragraph seems like inane jibber-jabber, a couple of hours watching the duo on YouTube will catch you up on their lingo. Their HBO personas aren't too different from their actual selves — McKenzie and Clement play two bandmates who are trying to make it big, get laid and avoid their doting fan, Mel. (Of course, in real life, there are more than a few Mels to evade.) On both their TV show and tour, their comedy pokes fun at the awkward sides of dating, and is smartest when it reveals the humor in sexualizing ordinary men like themselves — one of their songs is about girls "checking out the front of [their] trunks."

Unfortunately, McKenzie and Clement didn't have time for an interview. Apparently, there are too many mutha 'uckas out there, 'uckin' with their shit.

Sat., April 18, 7 and 10 p.m., $51, Tower Theatre, 19 S. 69th St., Upper Darby, 877-598-8497, livenation.com.
