Please let them come to Ireland, please let them come to Ireland.
Alas, we don’t think the Flight of the Conchords will be coming to Ireland anytime soon, but it is still great to hear that they’ll be hitting the road again, with plans for new material too.
One half of the New Zealand duo, Jemaine Clement, is currently promoting his new movie, People, Places, Things at the Sundance Film Festival and, according to Billboard, he’s been talking about the Conchords touring again at the end of this year.
Clement said that he and his other half in the band, Bret McKenzie, “are planning on touring later on in the year in the States”.
“It isn’t very solid yet, but we’ve been talking about it,” he added.
Flight of the Conchords have previously tried out new material on the road and this tour will be no different according to Clement.
“I really don’t like the studio part of music,” Clement said.
“I more enjoy playing live and letting others take care of the recording.”
Details may be a little thin on the ground right now but it seems inevitable that the band will be getting back together in the near future and that can only be a good thing.
It’s not business time quite yet, but it soon will be…
