Before the Lonely Island's digital shorts, we had Flight of the Conchords—Jemaine Clement and Brett McKenzie's HBO series that followed the lives of two New Zealanders trying to make it as a rap-folk-funk band in New York. For two seasons the duo sang about the perils of the big city, from mutha'uckin racist fruit peddlers refusing to sell them apples, to people hurting their feelings by saying they're not rappers, to dumb bank transaction fees, to women trying to steal a glimpse of their sweet sugalumps. Together the Rhymenoceros and Hiphopopotamus navigated these sticky situations with comradery and quick wit, even when they were both in love with the same sexy lady, Brahbrah. They're in Portland for two sold-out nights, so enjoy if you got your tickets well in advance. CIARA DOLAN
